Though slightly scarred from last year's debacle, we were inspired by the invitation of our neighbors to brave Sauvie's Island again for another go at finding the perfect pumpkin.
In true toddler form Lucy definitely had the most fun redirecting traffic cones and playing in the puddles while waiting for the hayride. The actual hayride was pretty fun, and she was kind of over it by the time we actually made it out to the field of pumpkins.
There were so many pumpkins! Still attached to their greenery! In a nice foggy field that in some directions looked almost deserted and creepy! And I dressed her in the closest approximation of the pumpkin field picture from youth that I could, so Mama at least was having a fun time.
After lots of walking we managed to find a pumpkin that was small and didn't have dirt on it, which were Lucy's two basic specifications, and that had a stem that wasn't rotting, which was my requirement.
Success!
