The perfect fall treat Two toddler-aged kids sitting on a pallet holding a variety of pumpkins. They each are holding a pumpkin of their own in their laps. A person holds a bright orange pumpkin out in front of them. They are wearing a black and blue checked flannel, and the background is blurred behind the pumpkin. A carved pumpkin has been broken into pieces and currently is in a bucket heading to the compost pile.
