And this has to be the coolest October in South Carolina on record, right?  I mean, we went to the pumpkin patch at Highland Park in long-sleeved shirts and we weren&#8217;t sweating.  Has that ever happened before?  This is one of my very favorite things that we do each year.  For as long as I can remember, Highland Park has filled their front yard with pumpkins.  It&#8217;s a fundraiser that they do for their youth group and they also give to other local charities that support children (I didn&#8217;t know that part until this year).  And it provides the perfect spot for pumpkin photographs of my kids.  When I see those pumpkins I know it&#8217;s officially Fall.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>We were a little late this year, the pumpkins arrived when we were in Disney.  But there were still plenty!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12210\" title=\"20101004_2039fb\"
