There is a farm here in town that gives pumpkins away to the kids in Bailey's school district. There is even an elementary school named after the original owner of the farm. He started giving the pumpkins out because kids in town would see his truck full of pumpkins and want one. He decided he would invite the kids to the farm so that they could pick their won pumpkin!! This has been a tradition that has gone on for many years. They have different areas set up throughout the farm for the kids to look at. They were able to shuck bean, dig for worms, pet a pig, play with compost, and of course pick a pumpkin from the field. The only rule for the farm is that the KIDS must carry their own pumpkin out of the farm. Mind you this is quite a hike! (Probably like walking to Aunt Lou's through the woods and back to Mom and Dad's.) Bailey's pumpkin weighed about 9 1/2 pounds. It was the second largest in the whole class. There were a couple times that she had to stop and rest, but she made it. I have never seen a child so happy to take her seat on a school bus!! She is very proud of the pumpkin and is now watching t.v. and holding the pumpkin. I am hoping that she falls asleep with it because I just think that pic would just be too cute. I have some more photos that I wanted to add to this, but the photos are having a hard time uploading. I am now giving up and will try again later!
Getting ready for the tour.
Harriet the Pig. She is 5 years old and weighs 500 pounds!! 
The group of 8 kids that were with me. These were some of the most well behaved kids that I have ever been around.
It was so neat watching these kids. They automatically started helping each other out with the pumpkins. I was very impressed at how they worked together.
Proud mommy!!! LOL
