OK, Laurel wins the prize! Way to go, Laurel, our first family blog poster!! Last Saturday, we drove south of Birmingham about 30 miles to Harpersville to the Old Baker Farm to pick pumpkins and picnic with Memaw, Papa, Granny Hazel and Timothy. We played in the hay maze, tried our best (unsuccesfully) to find a way through the corn maze, rode on the wagon out to the pumpkin patch, played on "hay mountain" and picnicked under the trees. It was a great day with the family and Matthew chose this white pumpkin with which to make a pie. He was absolutely determined to make a pie with it - nothing else would do. He really loves to bake (like his Dad) and we had a great time learning how to cook real pumpkin. I had never scraped real pumpkin out of the skin before, only out the Libby's can - ha! But this was WAY better!
Matthew realizes he can use the pumpkin as a drum, but reluctantly agrees that if he wants a pie, he will have to relinquish his musical instrument. 
Scooping seeds! Did you know that the inside of a white pumpkin is somewhat green?!
