Taking Some Punk Kids For Punkins

Recently, Loretta and I tagged along on Henry's school trip to Homestead Farm. It was a crisp, bright October day when we rode a fancy bus all the way to Poolesville, MD.

But of course, there's really only one authentic method of transport to a punkin patch. Hayride!

We met many sweet farm animals.

Played in the hay.

And then got down to bidness. Finding the perfect punkin.

Loretta worked feverishly picking and stockpiling about a dozen pumpkins, until we explained that we could only take one home.
Climbing on haystacks is fun!
