Pumpkin Picking

Hurricane Irene ruined pumpkin picking this year, too. It took us forever to find three decent looking pumpkins, and as I write this a week later, I can officially say that the three "good" ones we picked last week are started to rot.We'll probably carve them this weekend instead of the night before Halloween so they're not a total waste.

We still had fun scoping out the good pumpkins and wound up walking the entire patch. The weather was beautiful and cooperative. It was chilly and breezy--the perfect fall day to go pick pumpkins. We were aiming to get an armful for $25, so poor William had to carry three large pumpkins only to find out that they'd cost us $18. We planned on going to the market too, but it seemed like everyone else had the idea of going pumpkin picking that day and it was just too crowded. Instead, we just got ourselves some more roasted corn and a baked potato. Afterwards, William took us out to dinner at Applebee's.
