Pumpkin Patch and Jack o' lanterns

On Saturday, we took Mirian to the pumpkin patch. She loved looking at all the pumpkins out in the rows. She would stop to touch every single one. At the pumpkin patch, they have a huge pumpkin cannon that shot a volleyball size pumpkin about 1/4 of a mile. It was pretty cool, but it scared Mirian to death. She did not like the sound of the cannon at all. So while Russ watched the cannon, Mirian and Mom went to get fresh pumpkin donuts. The donuts were delicious (and that is coming from someone who does not like donuts at all.)


She was so happy to be outside


Look, I found a pumpkin!


Picked one out


The Pumpkin Cannon


Mirian was just a little worried

On Sunday evening, we got together with our good friends the Lawson's and we carved our pumpkins and then ate yummy caramel apples. It was so much fun. Mirian didn't really care for the jack o' lanterns, even though she tried to use the carving knives a couple of times.

That's why she wanted to play with the knives, Daddy was having so much fun with his!

I don't think there's a pumpkin patch here so we will have to live vicariously through your pumpkin patch experience. Mirian is a doll!
