Pumpkin Picking

This past Saturday, we took Talan to Johnson Pumpkin Farm to pick a pumpkin.  He had a blast.  Talan loved going on the hay-ride out to the pumpkin patch and was very into picking the pumpkins out.   He chose a little one that he could carry, a little gourd that he takes everywhere with him, and two very large pumpkins.  I think one of them is bigger than him.  He helped Daddy cut the pumpkin off the vine and carry it back to our wheel-barrel.  

One of the men there took a family picture of us.  Talan is sitting on the pumpkin that we brought home.

Here's Talan helping Daddy carry the huge pumpkin he chose.

Talan even helped push the pumpkin back to the hay-ride.  He never let those pumpkins out of sight. 

He sat like such a little man on the hay-ride.  He didn't want to sit on either one of our laps.  He wanted to sit on the hay.  He just rode and looked around.  He is getting so big!!!

Here is Talan riding in the wheel-barrel with all the pumpkins we got.  Notice he has the gourd in his hand.  I think he would have slept with it if we would have let him.
