Pumpkin Picking on a GRAND scale






Bryan & Diana Birkrem sharing their pumpkins
So every year the Birkrems plant pumpkins for two reasons, 1) it is an easy low maintenance crop that comes up instead of weeds 2) to share with others (this is probably actually the #1 reason as they are very giving people).  Well this year we decided to go help them pick pumpkins.  628 pumpkins later we shared some yummy watermelon and brownies.  Each girl had the chance to have their pick at the pumpkins they wanted and Momma got some for pies and baking as well.  Afterward we went to the mall as Matt needed a new suit and Nick some new pants.  We were hot, sweaty, and quite frankly looked like the dirty, unwanted step children but at the end of the long day it was a good tired for it had been a wonderful day.
