Every year, my mom and dad have this great tradition to include my kids in their "Great Pumpkin Hunt". They spend the summer months growing squash, decorative gourds, pumpkins and decorative corn in their huge garden, to display at Thanksgiving. Then, in October, they gather the kids, a tractor and some barn clothes, and get picking! Here they are enjoying some of their annual "Hunt"....
(I am not sure where Michael is in this photo, maybe he's helping Grandpa!)
And here they are enjoying their winnings. They then set all the veggies out, along with fresh picked apples, nuts, and decorative baskets, at the door to greet guests as they arrive for a visit.
My mom and dad have been doing this for years, and we always look forward to seeing how the display changes from year to year. Here's the final product for 2008.....
Happy Fall!
