Day 248 - Gourd

The Annual Touhill Pumpkin Extravaganza happened today, and it was very successful.  We've gotten pumpkins from a local farm for the past 4 years and have always been pleased with their selection and prices. We picked out 6 pumpkins - 3 for carving and 3 for decoration.  I always like the funky-looking heirloom pumpkins because I think they have so much character, but they are not good for carving so we got some nice big round pumpkins for carving.

The farm also has a playground, petting zoo, hayride, and a few other things.  We let Henry play on the playground for a little while and also let him bounce in a bounce house that they had set up.  I'm not a huge germaphobe, but the bounce house was disgusting (which I noticed after Henry got in) so I let him count to 20 then he had to get out.  The rest of the playground area was nice, and we passed on the petting zoo and hayride.

Shortly after we left the pumpkin patch, the sky fell so we left at a good time.  Henry and I went to see a movie this afternoon. Hotel Transylvania 2 was good enough.  Henry claimed that he didn't like it but seemed to enjoy it while we were there.

Very nice Saturday and successful Extravaganza!
