This morning Charlie and I went for a Grandma-Charlie date to a pumpkin farm not too far from our house.  We were the only ones there!  That has to be a first.  I've never visited a pumpkin farm early on a Monday morning, and I now can highly recommend it for a quiet fun kid date. 
On the way there, Charlie kept wondering when we would be at the "Pumpkin Pine", which must be Charliese for pumpkin farm + pumpkin pie.  Not sure.
We had the fields to ourselves, enjoyed an apple cider slushie (yum!), visited some animals, watched a kid pick up large crates of pumpkins with his John Deere tractor, and got pumpkins for ourselves and our loved ones, too.
Thanks for the fun time, Charlie!  I love you!
