Quick Successions: New Mexico Edition

Last Saturday I took Hannah to another pumpkin patch. This pumpkin patch was busier and more commercial--less farmlike than the one she went to with their class.  After sifting through a plethora of pie pumpkins, heirlooms, and jack-o-lanterns, she picked a winner.  I had never been to a pumpkin patch before and I always wanted to go. So it actually was fun to get to two this year.  Afterward, we went to a park and carved the pumpkin. After we carved the pumpkin Hannah decided that she wanted a donut, so we made one more stop. Later that night, we lit up our handiwork.

Last week Hannah and I went to KU so I could run some errands. Along the way, we stopped at the lake in the middle of campus to take a rest and a picture. Her dog Bingo is in the picture above.  He goes everywhere with her. Even to church. But I don't let her take him to preschool. A few days later I went with Hannah to school. Her class took a field trip to a local farm and pumpkin patch. While there they fed roosters. The kids also played in a maze that had a watch tower. And then there was the corn bath. There were also a few other activities, including selecting a pumpkin. Hannah and I painted the pumpkin she picked and put it outside our door. I really like the autumnal season. This one promises to be good.
