Uncle Dan's Pumpkin Party

Dan loves to grow pumpkins!
It's a gift, actually. According to our neighbors our soil has too much clay in it (or something like that). Dan proved them wrong.
He planted 70% of our garden with pumpkins of many different varieties. We had everything from Jack-Be-Littles to Atlantic Giants. Dan harvested somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pumpkins.
We've been giving them away all month.
Dan's favorite thing to do with his pumpkins is have a Pumpkin Party with all his nieces and nephews. So this last week, he hauled 50+ pumpkins down the street to the park, where 40+ of our nieces and nephews were able to choose their own pumpkin. They also colored pictures, frosted cookies, guessed the weight of the biggest pumpkin, and played pumpkin soccer (the pumpkins were the goals, not the ball.)

Most of our pumpkins are gone now, but we still have a couple dozen medium -small pumpkins. You are welcome to come pick one out if you haven't already!
