Taking children to a pumpkin patch seems to be a must-do outing these days. Heck, even celebrities have been spotted helping their kids pick out pumpkins. It must be the thing to do.
While there may be plenty of kids picking strawberries and blueberries during the summer, those moments don't hold the same fascination as choosing a pumpkin in the fall. For whatever reason, pumpkins get all the attention. Maybe it's the size of a pumpkin that makes it so interesting for photos. It is kind of amusing to see a baby surrounded by pumpkins that rival his size.
For older kids, maybe it's the Charlie Brown cartoon that makes them eager to see a real pumpkin patch. Of course, that's assuming they still show that cartoon on TV.
Happy pumpkin hunting. And let me know if you see Linus.
