Pumpkin time!

It's that time of year again, our annual trek out to Jubilee Farms for pumpkins and trebuchets!



This year we managed to snag a ride on the horse-drawn hay wagon out to the field:

 The munchkin found her perfect pumpkin, long and skinny:
 

 This year she wants a ghost pumpkin, we were told. I have more sinister plans, and I needed as round a pumpkin as I could find.

 

 We warmed our bellies on tamales and some of the tastiest roasted on the planet.

 

 It was rather chilly, although fortunately not raining, so we stayed for just one pumpkin launch and a pony ride.

 


 They were down a pony this weekend, as one was feeling a little too frisky apparently.

 

 We've been coming to this patch every October for the past 7 years now, and hope to keep doing so when the munchkin is grown and has kids of her own. Always so much fun! The rest of the pictures from the day can be found here.
