My Pumpkin Patch Adventure

It was a foggy, fall day when we pulled into the parking lot of the pumpkin patch. My mouth dropped as I gazed upon a forest of perky corn stalks, standing at attention, guarding hundreds (if not thousands) of orange pumpkins. I squirmed anxiously in my seat and pointed my finger repeatedly out the window. I couldn't wait to explore this magical place! Apparently this vegetable is used for eating, carving, and decorating. Talk about a super veggie! 

The brisk autumn air chilled my skin as I leapt out the car. Leaving my humans behind, I sprinted into the patch. I wanted to see one of those pumpkins up close and I wasn't going to let any human slow me down (sorry guys, frog on a mission). The corn stalks gently tickled my arms as I pushed them aside to reveal a clearing of pumpkins as far as the eye could see. This place was incredible! 

I wasted no time in leaping circles around the patch. I couldn't believe how unique each pumpkin was! Some were big, some were round, some were green, and some were odd shapes that I can't even describe. They kinda reminded me of the frogs in Lily Pad Hollow. Though we all are from the same species, each one of us is different.

It took hours to properly explore the patch and when it came time to leave, we got to pick out and purchase a pumpkin of our very own. A small, round pumpkin caught my eye and I immediately knew it was the pumpkin for me. Though it's size was not nearly as grand as the pumpkins around it, there was something about it that I could relate to. It was as if it sat amongst the larger pumpkins, its stem raised high, proud to be different - kinda like me. I can't wait to carve it up for Halloween Night! See you on the next adventure!
