A good day to honor the Orange Orb

I really thought that this year the kids would be perfectly happy picking out pumpkins at the produce stand or at a grocery store.  Nope.  Actually,  Dominik didn't have much of an opinion but Alice really wanted to hold onto the tradition of driving out to the pumpkin farms in Puyallup or Orting.  Today we did just that...and it was fun. Both kids got enormous pumpkins and I treated myself to a new squash I hadn't tried before.
