Pumpkin picking 2010

The quest for the perfect pumpkin took place in Utah this year, and I must say I find their pumpkins superior to Idaho's.

This friendly little guy was ready and waiting to spook us on our hunt. ( This is a picture of on the way back; since we knew they were there they didn't jump out, just waved hello!)

Throwing hay is a fun fall pastime.


Ah, here they are, the cream of the crop. Yeah, the pumpkins are pretty good too!


Ava tried so hard to pick hers up, but I think it weighed almost as much as she did!

Yeah, a Corriney sized one!

Payden's perfect pick.

Here it is mom!

It was hard to find a pumpkin that wasn't perfect in this field. They were all good shaped, good colored gems. Here is mine.

Jason found his within 5 feet of the tractor!

We were treated to a hay ride out the to field. Our driver was funny and entertaining. He really was proud of that tractor!

Some people just shouldn't take pictures. Oh well, we are represented!



The kids were so excited to do this. This is one of our favorite traditions.

The weather was great, and it was a fun evening. After we got our pumpkins, we went and got a pizza for dinner. Yeah for fall!

Wow! Look at those pumpkins! We had to deal with our 20 pumpkins that grew in our garden. some of them orange, some of them not quite! But still fun to have home grown! Looks like such a fun tradition!
