Parking lot pumpkin patch

Pumpkins just might be good luck.  After a pit stop at the grocery store parking lot pumpkin stand, Max and Kira were pretty good little pumpkins themselves!  "I'm being so good, right!?!" Max checked all evening.  He was!  We might be stopping at this pumpkin stand more often.

A quick stop for mums turned into a fun activity for Max and Kira. 

Max was so proud of Kira for lifting the pumpkin herself

"She did it!" said Max, while Kira turned around to grab a few more.

"I'm so strong!" Max said.  He even let his eager sister assist with the second plant.

"Oh my gosh this is a snake pumpkin!"   Max even tried to put it around his neck a la a real snake charmer. 


Kira only wanted to water her foot.  Max identified all of the brown plants.

Max had a full day of gardening.  His school garden got flooded so the kids drained it.  Better at school than at home!

Paper pumpkin!  No wonder Kira was so excited about seeing the real pumpkins after school.
