Pondering pumpkins

As of late, the weather has been less than agreeable in our attempts to visit the pumpkin patch. Last week, we got as far as breakfast at chick-fil-a before surrendering to the rain. As we watched the forecast for this week, it appeared rain would befall us again. However, nothing was gonna stop us from braving the weather this time around. We would beat the rain. When dark clouds threatened, we would retaliate with thunderous persistence in our pursuit for the perfect pumpkin.

Then daddy got sick.

We never counted on chilled bones and a fever of one hundred degrees to sideline one of us from our impending conquests, but that's exactly what happened. So while the jane gals headed south to apple works with the hyman clan, daddy drifted in and out of consciousness between episodes of 'good times' and 'matlock'. Thankfully, mommy took some lovely shots of the little one so that daddy could imagine he was part of the excursion. Olivia seemed to enjoy her romp through the pumpkin patch much more than last year.
