A couple Saturdays ago, we drove down to a little pumpkin patch just south of Johnson City called the Pumpkin Barn. This place was SO perfect for finding the perfect pumpkin in October. First of all, they had a gigantic barn FULL of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. I didn't know that many different types of gourds existed! It was quite beautiful, actually. Kids thought it was SO cool. They also had a big tractor and a carriage that the kids liked climbing on. Then behind the barn, they had a huge pumpkin patch that you could take a wagon out and clip your own pumpkins from the vine. So we wagoned the kids out to the field and looked around until we found one we liked!
Our spoils from the day! I couldn't help myself and had to get some of their little white pumpkins they had! We painted our white ones and will carve our big one on another day.
Our pumpkin painting sort of carried over to plate painting. Complete with sunset mural as well as Frankenstien and jack-o-lanter variations and Van Gogh Halloween moon mural. Hehe:
