The giant pumpkin!!


Well the jury is still out on how much the thing weighs but our best estimate is around 225 lbs. Katie and Josh have really enjoyed watching the pumpkin grow all summer. Every time we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house they would run out to check on it. The plant was enormous and completely took over the back corner of the yard. We actually ended up with 3 pumpkins, but the other two were pretty small. We hope to do even better next year, maybe a 300 pounder! Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for providing the garden and watering the pumpkin for the kids all summer!

Thats awesome! what are you guys going to do with it? i bet you could make a lot of pies, or one giant jack o-lantern. Or if you are really crafty you could make a great centerpiece out of it :)
