Pumpkin Picking

Pumpins are a traditional part of Halloween, & there are a number of 'Pumpkin Patches' over here in the US where you can pick your own pumpkins. We went to a local patch a few miles south on Hwy 141. As well as well as pumpkins, they also had pony rides, a playground, tractor rides, live entertainement, & a farm shop where you could buy other produce grown at the farm. Beth had a ride on a pony & then found a 'wagon' so that we could transport the pumpkins back to the checkout. As we left it quite late to get our pumpkins there wasn't much of a selection, but we were still able to find three nice ones so we could each carve out a pumpkin & make the jack o' lanterns' in time for Halloween.
