Once Upon a Pumpkin....

Once upon a time, there were three fun families. They decided that instead of taking an expensive trip, they'd meet in the a town known as the Big Lick. The "bicklickers," as we shall call them for folklore's sake, were known to be friendly and say things such as "y'all." The land was so beautiful that many would come from far and wide (even from VA Beach). While the 3 fun families were contemplating communal living, they thought they'd enjoy God's orange earth by taking a trip to Jeter Farm. (There are pictures below in case you are from a land where orange does not exist. )
On Jeter's Farm, the three families spent time with their young admiring the beautiful fall colors,

going on a hayride,

venturing through a corn maze,


petting (or should I say feeding) some animals at the zoo,
and picking some pumpkins. What makes a perfect pumpkin you ask?

Well, first off, you must be willing to look high and low. It must be perfectly shaped, cheery, and inviting. Appears this man's pumpkin is smiling.


This one has a notable stalk. Quite kissable if you ask me.


This one was hiding amidst some others. Did I mention it may take some diggin' in the dirt?


It must stand out in the patch!

And when you know you've found the perfect one, it will make all other pumpkins pale in comparison!


Oh.. almost forgot. They must be easily transportable! Looks like they picked the best in the patch.

Krisha,
Your pumpkin story and pictures are fabulous! I especially love the pumpkin with the notable stalk. Quite kissable, indeed! Be sure to give Chase a kiss for me.

Fun post, you two! Quick question (unrelated)--I see you're using a baby carrier...which one do you use and how do you like it. We're in the market right now for one...
