Pumpkin Picking

10/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

Today was our annual family pumpkin picking day! My family looks forward to this day every year, and it’s always so much fun.
The great part about being in a family that does foster care is that when you have annual traditions, your family is always very different. In most families’ pictures from year to year, it’s nice to see how children are growing or if someone has changed their hair or lost weight. In my family, it’s fun to see which kids we had each year at different times. Two years ago, my family of eight went pumpkin picking. Last year, I’m pretty sure only seven of us went, because my brother doesn’t come home from college a lot. This year, eight of us went, but my brother wasn’t home and we had a new sister instead. It’s crazy to keep up with the changes each year!

Pumpkin picking is a day that my whole family enjoys, because it’s a wonderful day out for all of us. The place that we go to has lots of activities for the kids, like a hay maze, bounce houses, and a barn where you can walk through and see all of the animals. They have a haunted house, a hay ride, and you can walk around the field and pick your own pumpkin.

One of my four-year-old sisters was terrified of the haunted house, while the other was having a great time. The two-year-old had no problems, and my brother wished there were scarier attractions to see. It’s funny how different everyone’s personalities are in my family. The same thing goes for the pumpkin picking, where everyone’s personality really shows through which pumpkin they pick. My sister picked the biggest one she could find, and one of the twins took forever to pick the tiniest pumpkin in the whole field.

Does your family go pumpkin picking each year? What other fall traditions do you have?

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
