This Sunday Lilly experienced her first pumpkin patch along with me, mommy and grandpa. The past few weeks we’ve been attending more craft fairs and the like so I figure this would be about the same. Boy was I wrong. This place was about 30 minutes away in the middle of nowhere, but that apparently didn’t stop every minivan owning parent in Atlanta from making the pilgrimage. I was amazed to see the turnout for what I was expecting to be no more than a roadside store with a few pumpkins. My first indication of how “to-do” this place was the “Sorry, parking full” sign at the first of several driveways. After parking and hiking to the patch we were amazed by the HUGE pumpkins. I suppose there were several thousand pumpkins large, small, white and orange. About a third of them were the diameter of a bicycle wheel and weighed more than 75lbs. People were selecting their pumpkins and carrying them back to their respective minivans on wheelbarrows. Laura wanted one of the mutant pumpkins, but I was determined not to let that huge orange monstrosity separate me from $100. We reached a compromise for a nice normal pumpkin at a healthy 9$. Victory! Click here to see the photos!!!
Clicking “here” to see the photos brought me to the Orlando photos, not the pumpkin photos.
If you had clicked on the “here” when the post was new it would have lead you to the pumpkin photos. However, it now leads you to the most recent photos we uploaded on flickr. You can still access the photos, but you must first start with the most recent photos we uploaded.
