pickin' up pumpkin


Hot and hungry, we arrived at the farm. I was craving funnel cake; having tried some several years ago and remembering that it tasted fun. Snow, however, was quite intrigued by the elephant ears but since she isn't very fond of meat, she talked her brother into wanting some.
After a plate of cake and a piece of ear (that "tastes like very sugary bread" - because that's what it is really - fried dough sprinkled with sugar) we petted some animals, rode a train of buckets, and then headed to the pumpkin stands.

Maku spotted his pumpkin right away. Snow on the other hand had to touch

About an hour and 30 pumpkin suggestions later...when our patience was wearing thin...we finally had victory! The farmer even let us have Snow's pumpkin for free. First we thought it was because of its rotting stem but after looking around we noticed that the farm was already closed.

l would like to have some elephant ear please! sounds tasty!

Oh, first time I am seeing a pumpkin shoping trip. Thanks!

I can imagine Snow trying out all the outfits in the store when she's older..til the shop closes, while Maku will make a real quick shopper. Too bad, they both can't shop together!
