English Pumpkin Patch

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch in Germany last year we decided to do it all again this year in England. I always got to pick my pumpkin from the grocery store, so this is a new exciting experience we get to share with Ava. It was a typical soggy, foggy, chilly day so rain boots and coats were a must. I even had to roll up my pants to make sure I didn't take half the mud home.


Ava looked and looked and finally picked her favorite one!

This tiny little pumpkin. I asked her if she wanted to pick a bigger one and she told me "this is a baby pumpkin, and papa's is a papa pumpkin."

You can really see the difference in size. David's pumpkin clearly visible and Ava's pumpkin only has the stem poking above the wheel barrow.


Sad ending to the pumpkin story though, October was so busy that we never got around to carving our pumpkins. Instead I lit the pumpkin jars (Ava and I made these with modge podge and tissue paper) and left the real ones to look cute in front of our house.
