Emma Krumbee's

"I'm not coming home without a pumpkin." This is what I said to Peter this morning as we were on our way to Emma Krumbee's apple orchard in Belle Plaine. And guess what? We didn't have to come home without a pumpkin; we came home with two of them. Pete tried to limit me to a very small pumpkin, but we negotiated and agreed on a medium sized one for us and a very small one for the Fredo.

We went with Corey and Mel and Aimee and got there about right when it opened. We forgot our camera, so this picture taken of "Scarecrow Pete" with my camera phone is the only picture we have.

I must say, that is quite a complex they have there at Emma Krumbee's. We looked at the scarecrows and other attractions, we went for a ride behind a tractor, and we ate lunch at their restaurant. Very tasty. In addition to the pumpkins, Pete and I came home with some apple butter and some apple cider.

And now I have a paper to write for my class tomorrow. Next weekend is paintball and the weekend after is SoDak pheasant opener. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time to post up again in the not-too-distant future, but we'll see how it goes.
