ummm…your head is missing [picture dump]
Fall is starting to creep up around here even if we’re still getting 80 degree days. All the pumpkin farms are now open, so Julie and I thought it would be fun to go for a little field trip with the “babies”. We’ve been passing the larger than life sign pointing the way to Jerry Smith’s Pumpkin Farm since our first days in Kenosha, so I was glad to finally get the opportunity to check it out. I had heard about their pumpkin people displays and have always been curious to see them. Unfortunately, the displays weren’t all completed for our visit, so many of the characters were headless. I think Violet is a bit young to get creeped out by it, but I wondered a few times if it would have lasting effects on Chloe. We still had fun walking around and letting the little babes roam free.
Here are some of the exhibits that did actually have heads.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
Strawberry Shortcake?
Winnie the Pooh and headless Tigger.
McDonald’s characters. Kinda weird.
Sponge Bob and Patrick.
Popeye, et al.
The Sesame Street gang.
Penguins?
Cars?
Humpty Dumpty. One of my favorites.
Maybe I’m demented, but this was my favorite. Can you guess the theme?
And just for fun (once again, this may just put Chloe into therapy as an adult).
I was actually quite impressed with all the time, materials, and patience that goes into this project. And then the organizer in me keeps thinking: where and how do they store all that stuff once the season is over?
After we got to see all the displays I wanted to make sure to get some nice pictures of my little ViVi. Fall pictures are my favorite.
As you can see Violet was not thrilled to be taking pictures in the beginning. I’m sure she is thinking, “Why am I being forced to sit on top of these orange monsters?”
Once Vi was able to walk around, then I could coax a smile from her.
It was way too bright by the corn field, but I couldn’t pass up a picture by it.
Best friends. At least for that day. Today Julie got to watch Violet while I went to the doctor, and Chloe was not too keen on sharing her mommy.
It was a fun day, but I think I may have to take all the girls back once all the displays are complete. I think Annie and Mimi would really like them.
