The Wrong Pumpkin

On Sunday, Emma decided that it was necessary to visit the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin (well mommy might have had a little pull in the deal too).  When we arrived at the patch, Emma had fallen asleep.  It was a challenge to get her into the carrier but a good thing we brought it.  The Pine tree Apple Orchard is very hilly and it would have been quite a challenge to take a stroller to the pumpkin fields. 

Brr...It is chilly out here!

When we reached the field, daddy found a great pumpkin.  We took a picture with it, however, it wasn't the final pumpkin we picked out.  Emma decided there was a much better pumpkin further down the field.  When weighed, this pumpkin will be just about the same weight she is on Halloween.  What a smart little girl!

After we picked out the pumpkin, we checked out the apple exhibit and purchased some apples for home.  It was a bit chilly outside, so we decided to enjoy the pumpkin from our cozy kitchen.  Emma loved exploring the pumpkin while we sat and ate lunch at the kitchen table.  Emma also had her first experience trying out her high chair and sippy cup.  Emma is definitely a master with kitchen utensils.  Although no water was in the cup, she had a fun time practicing how to properly hold the cup.

 

Can pumpkins be used as bongo drums?

 

 Wow, this pumpkin is the size of me.

  The stem is definitely the best part of this pumpkin!
