Pumpkinland

It's that time of year to get ready for the fall and of course Halloween. The kids really wanted their pumpkins. Can we just drive up to the local Hannafords and get some nice cheep pumpkins? Oh no not with these kids. You just gotta get your pumpkins at pumpkinland. The drive was nice and the weather was perfect. Nana came with us. Usually Nana goes and mommy gets to stay home but she lost her helpers this year. Here they are getting ready to go into the cornfield to ge tthe pumpkins. We have my son the whirlwind , Nana, my daughter sunshine, my daughter our gabber and our cousin .

Once you are in the corn field then the hunt is on for the perfect pumpkin. With so many to choose from this could take a while. With the weather being nice and warm there is no need to rush except that the tractor will take off without you if you don't get back on before they leave.

Oh the joy of the perfect pumpkin. You get so proud you would almost think that you have grown it yourself. And the dreams of just how you are going to cut them up so that they will look nice and scarey.

Now that everyone has their pumpkin it is time to head back out of the fields load the pumpkins into the van and then go and enjoy the rest of pumpkin land. There is still so much to see. Getting lost in the corn maze is always fun and then the BIG slide. The kids really enjoyed the pig races. And just in case you think I am not really at all of these trips here is a picture that I actually made it into.I am hoping for a nice relaxing stay at home weekend this weekend. Who knows maybe we might even get the pumpkins cut.
