James and I ventured out to the Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence. It's a bit of a drive, about 20 minutes, but well worth it. All this weekend the guy who carves the huge, 1 ton pumpkins was there and I wanted to go see him.
Unfortunately by the time we got there at 4:30 he had already carved for the day. And apparently everyone and their children from Western New York decided to go that day too. It was 75 degrees that day, and that never happens in Buffalo in October, so everyone was out. They had a carnival there too which probably attracted the little ankle bitters. It was a good time. We saw the "Pumpkin Shooter" which is a big cannon that shoots pumpkins up to 100 yards. James got one big pumpkin and I got two little ones. I like to mess up carving the first one. Then have the second one for a backup when I screw up the first one. We also got a scarecrow man to stand up in the yard. Here are some pics.

Cute pictures, I like the pumpkin tower. It reminds me I've got to take my kids to the pumpkin patch soon...
