Pumpkin Picking

This year, instead of waiting until the last minute, we made sure that we went to the local pumpkin patch well before Halloween so that we had a better choice of pumpkins. It was busy, as usual for this time of year, with lots of attractions including face painting, pony rides, live music, a maize maze, & tractor rides, all taking advantage of the large number of people. Beth had a go on one of the horses & decided that she would like to start having horse riding lessons. She also managed to find a couple of really good pumpkins that we carved to look like Tin Man & Dorothy from The Wizard of OZ.
