gene the pumpkin man

Now that Moonlight Jack has showed up and brought the Halloween spirit to the house, it was only a matter of time before we made our annual pilgrimage to visit dear ol' Gene the pumpkin man!  Diana and I picked up Ledge straight of school and told him that today is the day- let's get some pumpkins!  He was thrilled that we were finally going to get some outside Halloween décor, and he was looking forward to seeing Gene as well.  We pulled into the old farm and wandered around a bit, checking out all the cool pumpkin related decorations.  After Ledger talked Gene's ear off for 15 minutes, we went out to the field and picked out a couple of good ones to carve.  There always seems to be a few little gourds that find their way into our wagon as well, but that's ok- the more Halloween décor the better, Ledger always says!
