Picking Pumpkins

It seems like these days, Pumpkin picking has grown to be more about the photo op than the actual pumpkin picking. Our family is no different, who doesn't love the great pictures you get?? But this year we went away from the mainstream a bit and picked pumpkins out of Gigi's adopted garden. I must say, although we didn't get the beautiful fall pumpkin patch shots, the pumpkins are beautiful, they were home grown, and free, there were no crowds, the girls had fun and each loved their pumpkins. So I say ... success!




This one grew outside the garden and sat perfectly on the wall right there like humpty dumpty.

Daddy helping the girls carry a big one. Isn't it pretty all lacy green and orange!

Adalie in love with her "little baby Pumpkin" (unfortunately before she got a chance to carve it a "little bear cub" came along and ate it?)

Thank you Gigi for saving us the pretty pumpkins. It was fun.
