The Great Pumpkin Express

On Sunday, Mom took Granny, the girls and me to Palestine to ride the train, The Great Pumpkin Patch Express. It was based on the book, "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."

Even though the weather was not cooperating, the girls had a blast!! It didn't really rain on us while we were in the field, it was drizzly and misty. It started pouring when we got back on the train. I was SO glad we had rain boots though!!



The girls were planning on wearing their Halloween costumes, but with the weather we opted for jeans and boots!

Getting ready to board the train.










Scary witch...Kenzie wanted NOTHING to do with her!









The girls each picked a small pumpkin and a large one, and then I got to pick my own. I picked a tall skinny one...so cute! It seemed like a good idea at the time until we were trying to beat the rain to get back on the train carrying those things! And then carrying them back off the train to the car...but they sure look cute on my porch!























They had a row of houses to "Trick or Treat" Each house had a door knocker, or door bell...so cute! Kenzie was nervous at each house...she knew that witch would be behind one of those doors!

OMG! That looks like such a great time! (even with the rain) Y'all were troopers to go in it. My mom would have loved that - you know how she loves Snoopy!
