pumpkin picking...

in Oirase! We got to go on a pumpkin picking trip to a little farm about 20 minutes away. I was lucky to go because the farmer only had 29 pumpkins he was selling, and he is the only farmer around here that has pumpkins.

I was so excited to see the pumpkins!

There were pretty flowers by the pumpkin patch.

We counted to 10 before we could all go get our pumpkins.

Hmmmm... what pumpkin do I want?

I like this one.

It looks like Mommy put a pumpkin under her shirt!

Yay! Mommy and Daddy are in the picture with me.

This was so much fun!

This is a snakey pumpkin!

Somebody said my pumpkin was really cool.

I told them, "It's my pumpkin! You can't have it!" Then Daddy and Mommy told me that wasn't nice to say because she was just trying to tell me she liked my pumpkin. So I sayed, "Sorry," to her.

We made cupcakes that looked like pumpkins to give to the farmer. Our kind of cake mix is super expensive, about ¥700, which is like $8.78! And we heard that a lot of homes here don't have ovens, so even if they buys cake mix they can't cook it. We also paid ¥500 for my pumpkins. I got another gourd that was already in the car when we tooked the pictures. It looks like a ghost. Now all of my pumpkins are on our front stairs. They are all ready to say hi to kids on Halloween!
