Pumpkin Picking

THE PATCH

All the years growing up it was always a task to pick the pumpkins for Pumpkin Festival because it took so long and for years we had a hard time getting people to help! For the past three years we have had super help from family and friends and it turns out to be a fine time! My dad is always amazed at how fast the whole patch gets picked!





Last year the boys enjoyed throwing rotten tomatoes at each other... this year it was the mud puddles!

Dad and Grandpa Kokko would drive the tractor to the piles of pumpkins and we would all throw the pumpkins in. The girls thought it was pretty neat to ride on the bucket while the tractor was moving.
