My Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

It is my favorite season, autumn! Do you like seeing the colorful foliage in the trees? Do you think apple picking is fun? Although I love to go pick apples at an orchard, my favorite part of fall is going to the pumpkin patch! The first thing I do is walk away from the crowd of chaotic people to an area with plenty of orange pumpkins. There are a variety of them at the patch; some are gigantic while others are petite. Some are plump while others are slender. My favorites are round but some can be square. I love looking for the perfect pumpkin!
