Pumpkins

Emilee and I used the afternoon to take Grant to pick out our pumpkins for the Fall. There were plenty to choose from at the Methodist church in Boger City. (Ironically, we live in the Pumpkin Center, NC area and there is not a pumpkin patch to be found. What's up with that??) At any rate, this first picture was when we first arrived. Grant started making selections right away.

There was an older couple that handled the sales. They were there last year, too. A very sweet couple. The lady volunteered to take a family picture for us. I really thought I was smiling more than that! Emilee is her usual glowing self. Grant is distracted by cars going by. It's too bad Sadie wasn't with us.

 All those small pumpkins made a great background for this one. Kudos to Emilee for timing this one just right. It is so hard to get Grant to look at the camera long enough to take the shot.

We picked out four pumpkins about this size and one little one that Grant selected himself. They'll look great outside the front of our house this fall. We won't carve any this year. Hopefully that will help them last through Thanksgiving. Grant's not in to that a lot anyway.
