I feel like it goes without saying at this point that none of our normal traditions seem very normal during a global health pandemic. That didn’t stop us from taking the kids out to the pumpkin patch this past weekend. It was bitterly cold and windy. While the kids didn’t seem to notice the chilly temps, it was a quicker trip than usual to head back to the car and warm up. Anytime that I’m really not feeling up for a kid activity like this, I remind myself that I only get so many years with them little where they want to hang with their parents at the pumpkin patch. So while it wasn’t a picture perfect day, seeing the cousins together again was well worth the cold.
