Pumkinville '08

This year for Halloween we decided to pick a pumpkin patch a little closer to home. In years past we have gone to either Grinnell or Cummings with the boys. A friend of mine suggested going to Pumpkinville in Mitchellville. It was great only having to drive about 10 minutes, plus it was FREE! I don't know about you, but I'm all for free these days. Of course we had to pay for our pumpkins, but still, four large pumpkins for only 10 bucks.....you can't beat that! We went on a Sunday afternoon and the weather was beautiful! The boys had a blast and it was a wonderful family-oriented afternoon.

What do you think about this one guys?

Look at my strong guy!
That pumpkin is almost as big as you Greyson!

Teeny, tiny pumpkins.

Are those actually little pumpkins that one of the boys is holding? I found a few of them in the pumpkin field on Evan's field trip. They were about pea-sized. I picked some up to ask the farmer what they were. They didn't know. They told me it must be some kind of berry that grew in the field. I figured they were little pumpkins that didn't mature. So, are you, like me assuming they're pumpkins, or do you know for sure that that's what they are?

I assumed that they were pumpkins. Greyson was so proud of himself for finding them and I thought they were really neat! Who knows?!
