Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch today: Armstrong's Purty Punkins. They had two patches, and they were huge. The first patch we looked at was just rows and rows over several acres of pumpkins.

 

 

Then we went to a circle patch about a mile down the road the other way, and it had all different kinds. Hannah particularly liked the white ones. The boys were in search of the biggest pumpkin they could find, and we did find it. It weighs 46 lbs! Our plan is to make a two faced jack'o'lantern for Halloween. We also dug through some bins for green gourds, but Hannah and Simeon found mini pumpkins out in the patch.

Found the right one!

 

Here is Joshua with the ones we have at home.

They're darling! I've never seen a pumpkin patch that big... that's awesome! How do you take care of one that big I wonder....

We're studying the Nez Perce right now.... we'll be doing pioneers in the spring. Too much to take in! :)

hahaha! Hannah cracks me up! She always has to do things just a little different! I can only imagine her saying, "NOoooo! I want the WHITE one!" Silly!

It looks like lots of fun! Two sided Jack-O-Lantern! Woo whooo!
