This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch with Yael and her parents and Auntie Margie and Andrew. Here are the girls playing in the corn kernel box - kind of like a sandbox full of corn.

Mollie meeting the pig at the petting zoo. She really liked the animals from a distance but as soon as they get close to her, she doesn't like it.

Yael's turn.
"Nice to meet you pumpkin head"
Finally, we got down to business picking out a pumpkin. Mollie inspected lots of pumpkins before making her final selection.
