It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown

Katie just loves Halloween. Not sure if it is the costumes or the candy she likes more but regardless it's one of her favorite days of the year. So when October rolls around we pull out the Halloween lights and decorations and get into the spirit. Living near Half Moon Bay, the pumpkin capital of the world, means you don't have to go far to find a good pumpkin. People flock from all over the bay area to buy their pumpkins at the local pumpkin patches and we are within walking distance to our favorite one, The Pumpkin Depot. To say the least we were both excited to take Sarah to pick out her first pumpkin. Being six months old of course she couldn't tell the difference between a pumpkin patch and a Christmas tree lot but regardless it was a memorable experience for both Katie and I. The patch is filled with old beat up tractors to play on, scary monsters and pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors. With pumpkins bought and Sarah's Halloween costume in the closet all there is left to do is carve the pumpkins and walk the streets Halloween night taking in the sites and sounds of all the kids trick or treating.
