Stoney Ridge Farm 2007


It's Pumpkin Patch time again!! This year it was Jaimie, Ethan, Little Jamie, Jana, Aaron, Alex, Matthew and I all headed for a hayride and the biggest pumpkins we could find!! We visited all the animals, laughing that the 3 little piggies snuggled together were kinda like sasauges. The geese were loud as usual, and the pea hens vicious when you feed them! We saw bunnies, goats, mini horses and big horses. We tried looking for Moses the Christmas Camel but they had him too hidden to find. We ran through the apple box and jumped out at eachother, the boys screaming with laughter. Alex rode the train again, and Ethan was ready before the rest of us to ride the tractor. The boys found worms in the pumpkin patch and had to show everyone.


Little Jamie found the biggest pumpkin of them all (35 lbs, I think), she could barely lift it! We picked apples and gourds, and the boys and little Jamie went through the corn maze.

We finished gathering, paid and headed to a cafe in Everson for lunch. We stopped by Grandma Weezer's for more pumpkins- we could barely shut Jaimie's hatchback there were so many! We put Ethan down for a nap at home and started on getting the dining room prepped for the biggest carving yet! Jaimie, Little Jamie and I carved 9 pumpkins total!

We were tricky, doing some with a stencil and others free hand. I am pretty proud of my haunted house, I did the carving free hand!! Ethan likes his ""e" pumpkin, and Little Jamie and I both have Princess J pumpkins... although Dan thought mine was the Budweiser crown. Good thing I like the guy or it would have been pumpkin guts-a-fly'n!! Then we roated about a million pumpkin seeds.. gonna be munching on those for a while!!
