Pumpkin Patch (again) and Pumpkin Carving

This past Saturday we had another trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Kendall, Zander and my parents. It is an annual tradition for my parents and the grandkids. Once again Kendall was running around like a mad woman but this time seemed to be more interested in the acorns laying on the ground than the pumpkins. She didn't even want to take one home. Maybe she has had a little pumpkin patch overload? I think this is the third or fourth visit this year.....

Here are a pic of her and Zander at the pumpkin patch, couldn't get them both to look at the same time.



This year we let Zander pick out his own pumpkin to carve. When we got home it was time to carve the pumpkins. Zander was totally grossed out by the pumpkin innards, as I like to call them, but the deal was if he wanted to carve his own he had to do it all on his own.



We tried to get Kendall in on the action, but she wanted no part of that, she would throw her hands up and shout "Disgusting!"



but she did like taking the "lid" on and off.




Finally at the end of day we were able to light the pumpkins and appreciate the hard work. Zander did a really great job on his first pumpkin.

Here is Zander's scary skull pumpkin:
