Pumpkins

We're a little late making our annual trip to Day Farms to select our pumpkins, but we finally made it there!
Everyone has their own type of pumpkin they look for.  Tom likes big, elongated pumpkins.  Megan, Julie and I try to find the perfectly round pumpkins with great color.  Hailey looks for one she can carry.  Josh's main objective is to find the one that will have the least amount of seeds inside.
I've never told the story about getting our pumpkins, corn stalks, and hay bales home.  The kids go in first, then we add the hay bale and pumpkins in the back.  The kids end up holding the corn stalk as they ride home (it's only a couple of miles).
The car is always a mess by the time we're done, but since Halloween is my favorite holiday, it's worth it!
