These are a few of our pumpkins from our very first garden! I of course had no idea what I was doing when I planted the garden; so I planted about six or seven pumkin hills in about a five foot space, and did the same with watermelons, and also zucchini(much to everyone's amusement who knows better, and apparently that IS everyone else!) So needless to say we had pumpkins and watermelons growing EVERYWHERE, and zucchini coming out our ears! We have all learned to love zucchini bread:) Gavin was very excited to pick them and put them out on the porch. You gotta love fall. Crisp air, pumpkins, crunching leaves, and best of all Halloween! We went to the "Barnyard Boo" at Thanksgiving Point the other day. It was fun and of course completely overwhelming...I didn't know it was the first day of fall break for school kids so it was a barnyard in every sense of the word! But we made it through the crowds, Gav got a pumpkin tatoo, frosted a cookie, rode a pony, threw bean bags into an enormous pumkin, a kids dream, until it all becomes to much and then tantrums begin and it is very much time to go home :)Here are some pic's of the day.
Found this witch very amusing stood and laughed at it for ten minutes!
Look at my sweet tattoo!
Who needs to stand back at the throwing line?

Congratulations! My "garden" consists of several wilting leaves and a few walnut sized, bitter tomatos. How am I supposed to remember to water? So good job! Gavin's expression in the pumpkin picture is priceless!
Those pictures just make me remember why I love that kid! I can't wait to see you guys at Thanksgiving. (My mom just told me the story of Robot Head! So funny Ash!)
Ash I can't believe you grew so much in your garden! (And apparently on top of eachother) I'm jealous cause I don't plant anything down here, I got discouraged in our last house here. Gretch told me its freEzing there and I'm getting worried because I FROZE at Coop football practice the other night and it was 63 degrees! See you in about a week.
