Pumpkin Roll
“Like the rest of the city, the zoo was decked out in Halloween paraphernalia—spiderwebs stretched across buildings and hundreds of pumpkins, cornstalks, and creepy characters peeked through windows. Sadie updated Shawn on the latest news while Pete took the boys through the reptile house. She and Shawn were just getting to the brainstorming phase of the discussion when Shawn realized he was late for class. The boys ran from one exhibit to another for almost two hours before the cold, the wind, and sheer exhaustion took their toll. Sadie took several pictures of the baby gorilla for Breanna, and Pete bought both boys a four-inch plastic replica from the gift shop. He purchased a larger one for Kalan, who would not be happy to have missed the field trip. On the way home, they stopped for hot chocolate at a little mom-and-pop diner, and then Sadie and the boys waited in the parking lot of a hardware store while Pete bought two eyebolts, one for each door, and five pumpkins for a carvi...ng contest when Kalan got home from school.MoreLess
