Kyle grew a giant pumpkin this year. Pat was at Lowe’s with Kyle last spring buying seeds for our garden. Kyle spyed a packet of Giant Pumpkin seeds, it showed a little boy standing next to a pumpkin bigger than the boy and Kyle was sold on growing some himself. As the summer progressed it got bigger, and bigger, and bigger. When we finally pulled it out of the garden to carve it was well over 100 pounds! We called it Goliath. Pat carved him up with some help from the kids. That pumpkin was at least 5 inches thick, so carving it was a challenge. But it was an impressive pumpkin all lit up on our front porch!

Here are some pictures of the kiddos at a pumpkin carving party at a friend’s house.
