The Great Pumpkin




It was a gorgeous day for pumpking picking... Not too far from home is Niven Apple Orchard and Pumpkin Patch. This Sunday all of us drove down with one goal- to find our own great pumpkin. And we did, nearly cleaning out the place! :)
The patch had lots to do from a kids play area to barnyard animals. They had the cutest baby donkey I've ever seen. We plotted to steal it, but we couldn't figure out how to fit in the car. Ruby really liked the baby pig and baby cow but gagged when she stood next to them. "I (gag) like the (gag) babies, but they really, (gaaaaaag) really stink." Yes, Ruby. They DID stink. BAD.
Smell aside, it was a great day. When we got home, Big Daddy prepared a huge pre-Thanksgiving feast and afterwards we all carved our pumpkins. Justin and Jon win for the scariest, but Meg's was really creative. She got a green pumpkin and carved Frankenstien. Cool!
