A Real Pumpkin Patch




All pumpkins were either $2 or $4 depending on their size.


Wheel Barrow full!


Now to fit them in the mini
Shell (with her hair pinned up) and I were on our way to have her make-up done at the mall and then go set up for the wedding when we passed this HUGE pumpkin patch.  I'm not talking about were you go to a church or parking lot and buy a pumpkin.  I'm talking....at least 3 acres of pumpkins growing in a patch and you go out and pick the ones you want!  Shell says...."man! I've never seen a real pumpkin patch, I wish we could stop".  Right after she said that, she makes a " safe and legal U turn" and before we know it, we're pulling into the pumpkin patch.  Shell says, "we'll only pick one pumpkin each and be on our way".  Ha! When the man asked us if we wanted to use the wheel barrow, Shell told him "no thank you".  Five minutes later, she was going back to get the wheel barrow because we couldn't carry all the pumpkins we wanted to keep.  We had the best time trappsing  through all the vines and finding the different kinds of pumpkins.  We decided it was one of the highlights of the trip and will laugh about it forever.
