"It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

"The Great Pumpkin always picks the most sincere pumpkin patch to rise out of. He's just gotta pick this pumpkin patch. He's just gotta! Look around. You can see that there' not a sign of hypocrisy anywhere. Nothing but sincerity reaching out as far as the eye can see." Linus from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Here we are...all ready to go see pumpkins!


Look who we found at the general store--daddy!


and mommy!


...under the ivy trellis


"Double double, toil and trouble..." William Shakespeare


... photo opportunity at the big pretty flowers (not a clue what kind)




...our my space shot (you know, the shot you take of yourself)



( Don't you love Shawn's hair in that last picture?)



Cutest little pumpkins in the patch. (no, seriously)



(the boys are the cute ones, not us)



... well, Isaac is pretty darn cute, too









"I'd rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion." Henry David Thoreau


... Jason with some gourds


...he's happy enough here, but he wasn't later when the gourds attacked him


(but mommy and daddy thought it was hilarious!)


...mmm---corn



...Shawn changed his mind, it wasn't so great after all


Jason just thinks it's pretty interesting



...look here, mini Indian corn on sale


...get me outta here! This is not fun at all!


...here we are at the sunflower forest



...and at the haystack



...I do not like hay, mommy


...yea for rescuing me


...I don't like it either!




...daddy kept trying to show us a pumpkin, but we were so over that


...and of this



[to Sally as she walks away with everyone else] "Hey, aren't you going to stay to greet the Great Pumpkin? Huh? It won't be long now. If the Great Pumpkin comes, I'll still put in a good word for you! [realizes what he just said] Good grief! I said "if"! I meant, "when" he comes! [calmly] I'm doomed. One little slip like that could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass you by. Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?" --Linus from It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown


(doesn't Shawn seem like he's saying something like that?)


We had a great time!
