It is cinderella in the pumpkin patch...

Toward the end of October just before Halloween we did a trip to a pumpkin farm in Half Moon Bay on the coast. We had a bit of a wander around the fields & checked out all the types of pumpkins & of course took plenty of photos. The kids enjoyed sitting on the hay bails & riding around on the little red wagons that were being used to collect pumpkins to make Jack O Lanterns. A favourite variety of pumpkin of mine was the Cinderella pumpkin which is the one you see in the fairy tale. It has such a lovely shape & I think we did buy one to make some pumpkin soup. I haven't had the patience to make a lantern as yet, maybe in 2010? Each year I get more excited about Halloween & the kids do really enjoy dressing up - maybe I can get us to dress up this year as well, hehehe!!!
