Pumpkins Pumpkins Pumpkins

This week we harvested our pumpkins. The kids have been watching and waiting all summer to pick our pumpkins. We grew 43 pumpkins!!! It is a tradition in our family to harvest the pumpkins and then enjoy pumpkin pie milkshakes from Arctic Circle as a family. Our kids really look forward to it and I love the way the pumpkins look all bright and orange lined up on our front porch.
We enjoy giving away some of our pumpkins and will carve several for Halloween. Pumpkins are one of my favorite things to grow in our garden. I save the seeds from our carving and next year we will enjoy pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins all over again.

Yesterday we took a little break from our Saturday chores to take a walk on Great Grandma Cleo's nature trail. It was a beautiful fall day and the kids and I enjoyed the bright sunshine and crisp air. Since this is hunting season I thought this picture would be appropriate. Hunter ran the whole way, Grandma would be proud!!
