Holy Pumpkin!

We decided to drive up to Valley View to get Chase some pumpkins today. We forgot about the GIANT pumpkin they have every year. He was sound asleep but I was itching to get him out of the stroller for a comparison. This year's giant pumpkin weighs in at a whopping 1540 lbs. I forgot the camera since we were out running errands, but daddy was able to snap some shots with his phone.
Unfortunately you weren't allowed up on the platform. It would have been great if we could have gotten a shot of him sitting on top. 9lbs vs. 1540lbs. They also had a contest to "Guess the number of seeds?" We didn't make a guess, but I did look in the book. Lots of them when in the tens and hundreds of thousands of course, but I thought it was really cute that a little girl guessed 24 seeds:)

Here I am measuring Chase next to an enormously long zucchini that measured 8+ft!

A little bored with the whole thing

We got an assortment of pumpkins and gourds, and I'll snap some pics of Chase with them this week. They had a ridiculous collection of different pumpkins and gourds, some of which we'd never seen before, and some that garnered inappropriate comments from daddy of course!
