To keep it on the fun and happy sides here...
To Keep it safe on great month of fun...

Well, these little catapillars are on their race
to get to the pumpkin patch before all the pumpkins are sold for Halloween...
Wonder which one is going to win?
The first one to pass the finish line
gets the 1st pumpkin of their choice...
Usually that is the biggest of all...
Please cheer them on
So they won't tire out...
Enjoy....
