we decided to brave the mud and the muck this weekend and continue our annual family tradition of visiting craven farm to carefully select the perfect pumpkin. (click here to remember last year and here for the year before.)
the following photo journal chronicles our visit:
1) summer, intent on rolling all around in the aforementioned mud,
is quite distraught when emily steps in to prevent her.

to eye the slimy ground below, she agrees to venture into the
pumpkin patch on her feet. afton rides merrily along.

6) after meticulously examining nearly every pumpkin in
