Pumpkin Pi

Remember last week how I posted those blurry photos of Mia romping at the local pumpkin patch? Over the weekend, Jeff found another pumpkin patch where we wouldn't be recognized. This one was set up really nicely. It was on a soccer field next to a church. Decidedly un-farmlike. On the other hand, they clearly understand their target market, because they had set up little photo-ready vignettes with hay bales, multi-colored pumpkins, split rail fencing and scarecrows. As we posed Mia for the shot, I discovered my camera battery was dead. Darn.
In the end the trip was worth it because they'd also set up a moonwalk/bounce castle. No one else was in it, so Jeff and Mia tried it out. Mia quickly tired of it, but as she and Jeff exited, I realized I have never once in my life bounced in a moonwalk. They had just come into fashion when I was a child and as I recall you paid a significant amount of money for the privilege of bouncing around. At least that is the reason my Mom gave when she said we couldn't go in the moonwalk - maybe she was more worried that we'd break our necks.
Anyway, I hopped in and had it all to myself. Totally fun.
