The cirque du famille and the goofydaddy family went to a local farm recently to do some pumpkin picking.  It was fun because as many of the farms in this area now do, they have more than just vegetable picking available.  There are slides made out of large plastic tubing (original purpose for some sort of drainage I assume), there are pig races and hay rides and all kinds of other things available to make for a very enjoyable afternoon.  Especially for a toddler who likes dirt such as Monkey.

Not Great Pumpkin

While there both families of course took many photos.  I thought I’d share this one.   Monkey picked what must have been the smallest pumpkin there (even if it’s got some sort of fungus on it, he loved it).  What I especially love about this picture are two things, 1) I can use it here without blurring his face because most of it is hidden, 2) Monkey has developed my same knack for “display” in a drama fashion.  DH makes fun of me for this habit but it’s funny and I’m glad Monkey has picked up on it.
