It’s when the holidays come around that I realize I’ve been living in Jacksonville for almost five years now. We moved to Florida in February 2007 for Hubbie’s radio gig. It was an adjustment. We came down from Maryland where we lived in a suburb about 30 miles outside of Washington, DC. It was a place where we had all the seasons and most of my favorite childhood memories involved holiday traditions. We definitely wanted to create those same memories for our children here in Florida. In Maryland, I remember going to Butler’s Orchard every Halloween season to pick out pumpkins and go on a hay ride. So I wanted a pumpkin patch tradition for my family in Florida.
Daniel was one year old in 2007 when we found a fun pumpkin patch down the street from where we lived.
Then, Annabel was born in 2008 and we went back again.
And then we went again in 2009…
and again in 2010.
And here we are again in 2011. The pumpkin patch tradition continues. (We’ll see how much longer the kiddies can fit on that little blue tractor. Hee.)
