Pumpkin' Patchin'

Greg and I ventured out to the pumpkin patch this year since it has become a tradition. Even though we already have a gigantic pumpkin sitting on our front porch already (thanks Grandpa from Summerland) we still really enjoy taking the kids to pick out pumpkins of their own. This year the rule for pumpkin selection was if you can't carry it then you can't have it. This made for an entertaining pumpkin selection process in the patch. Here are the boys with their final selections. As you can see they are both carrying their own pumpkins...rules are rules you know! (We helped them carry their pumpkins don't worry!)

Here is what Grandpa from Summerland needs to shoot for next year....this HUGE pumpkin! Good luck Grandpa....got any steroids?

Zay really liked this pumpkin. Especially since he fell off it! Alas it was too big and he couldn't carry it. But enjoyed sitting on it anyways.

Noah really wanted this one.....he liked that he looked monstrous standing on it.....too bad he could not carry it so it was left there....he was sad...the pumpkin that is!

Finally, what's a trip to the pumpkin patch without having them stick their heads through some wood cut-out. There were many to choose from but we thought our little pumpkins should be.... well little pumpkins.
