The [Strange] Pumpkin Patch

On Grammie and Poppa's last day in New York, we decided to take a drive and see some foliage. Come to find out, the foliage in our neighborhood was more colorful than anything we saw on our drive. However, the trip wasn't a complete loss. Besides being warm and toasty in the car and enjoying each other's company, we came upon a pumpkin patch. We needed to stretch our legs, and we weren't a bit bored while we did so. Some of the things we found were pretty neat...and then there were others that were pretty strange.

We were greeted by hay bale Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads. Gwen was impressed!

First Gwen just wanted to pat the pumpkins, and then she wanted to pick them up. This was a challenge until she found the pie pumpkins which were just her size.

Gwen was sure that is was her job to organize the Indian corn.

There were some neat gourds, including the snake and cave man club variety, and a ton of incredibly carved pumpkins all lit up!

Perhaps Gwen's favorite part was the ride back to the car in the wagon.P.S. The pictures posted fail to capture the strangeness of this pumpkin patch as I took pictures of the more normal parts. But, for example, in the picture above there is a large something made of orange traffic barrels, and it's...well...strange!
