Picking the Perfect Pumpkin is Work, Hard Work

 AGP's school went on a field trip to a farm with a pumpkin patch and small petting zoo.
It was awesome! After a bumpy hay ride full of giggles,
the kids were allowed to walk through the pumpkin patch to pick the perfect pumpkin.
What a task! One that AGP took very seriously!


 AGP walked and walked and studied many pumpkins.
She was very sincere with her search!
She would pick one up, look it over, and put it back down.
Then she moved on to the next pumpkin.
She did not want a dirty one!



I was asked to examine a few of the possible winners.
My opinion did not weigh much - if any at all.
She carried a few from row to row only to find a new resting spots
for the sad, unwanted pumpkins.
{I started having flashes of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree!}

 Look!

 Lift!

 Honestly, they all looked the same to me!
But AGP would have no part of hurrying and just picking a pumpkin!

 Weight was not a factor or concern,
She lifted them all and examine every inch!

But when AGP found THE PERFECT PUMPKIN, she knew it.
 She was very proud of her selection and the process she used to find
 "my most perfect pumpkin for me and Papa to make pumpkin pies and faces with!"
