Lessons from a parking lot pumpkin patch:

Choosing sunlight for pictures over dinner is a gamble, but so worth it when it pays off.
Next time, bring both adult and children's Claritin so 3 out of 5 family members aren't a sniffly, watering mess.
Those pesky wood chips are hardcore and the soles of TOMS are no match for them.

But the three little pumpkins rocked the janky rides and had a night of spooky fun, rumbly tummies and all.
