Ellie Kelsey and Mark at the Pumpkin Patch

Last fall, my sister wanted the whole family to go with her to the pumpkin patch so my niece could experience it for the first time. Unfortunately, she kept pushing it off until it was almost winter so the pumpkin patch was going to close. This left the only available day for a visit in the middle of a massive cold freeze with bone-chilling winds.
