Pumpkins....Part 2


Olivia and Corinne
Cameron, Tyler and Trey
These guys thought they could get away with 2 times around the trunk or treat lot. They found out the hard way you can spot a slice of pizza and a whoopie cushion a mile away. Next year they might try to be less conspicuous.

Why such a heavy pumpkin?

Even Jayden is trying to drag one.

Finally the perfect pumpkin.
The first year we came to this farm we told the kids they could choose whatever pumpkin they wanted. After we got to the checkout and realized paying by the pound made for expensive pumpkins, we changed our policy. From that year on, we decided you had to be able to carry your pumpkin from start to finish-no help. Now that the kids are getting bigger, they enjoy the challenge of carrying the "bigger" pumpkins to the checkout. We may have to instigate a pumpkin weight limit.

Pumpkins, Ducks and Halloween Part 1

We started with 4 loaves of bread. The ducks made quick work of it all and the kids loved every minute of it.
Moira!

Everyone worked hard at the pumpkin carving, but Monique did most of the scraping of the guts. Jayden took one sniff and said, "I don't like that stuff." Julia and Madeline stayed the coarse.
