Pumpkin Picking and Carving

Me, Karen, Heather, and Jesse went to Plymouth Orchards (same place Karen and I went apple picking 2 entries ago) this Sunday to go get pumpkins. Word on the street is that Wiards Orchard in Ypsi is ridiculously expensive (10 bucks just to get in).

Here's the thing. They advertise the pumpkins as "U Pick." No, that doesn't mean you take them right out of the patch. It means U Choose from the pumpkins they set out. Your local grocery store also has U Pick pumpkins.

Planning.



Karen took this photo and the next one too. I clearly in no way saw this photo coming.

After Zooey became too difficult to watch outside, we put her inside, and she spent her time watching us and jumping at bugs.

The pumpkin Karen and I made. The lens flare behind Karen's head makes me feel like I'm in a 4th century painting.
