Pumpkin Jack II...Part 1

This year we tried out a new orchard to find THE pumpkin that would becme our beloved Jack-O-Lantern.  We love Lymans Orchards for the incredible scenery but last year were a little disappointed in the quality of the pumpkins...So we set out for Bishops this year and were not disappointed!  They are definately set up for all the "photo op" moments with rows of pumpkins, piles of straw, gorgeous mums...the kids had a ball running from one area to the next. 


While it wasn't quite as magical to have all the pumpkins sitting out, pre-picked, we definately couldn't complain about the quality of the pumpkins. They had an awesome selection and Brandon managed to score us the closest-to-perfectly-round pumpkin we've ever seen.  We had to cart it around in this wheelbarrow, along with Ben who was loving the ride: one hand on THE pumpkin, and one clutching the baby pumpkin he bonded with. 

The FINAL WEIGH IN: 32 lbs!  Good thing I have such a strapping hubby to cart that around for me...well at least to and from the car. 

We ended our visit with - bet you can't guess...orchard fresh cider donuts and apple cider. It's TRADITION!  We couldn't have had a more beautiful day!
