We got some pumpkins! We went to the same place we went last year, and their crop was awesome. Last year they didn't have a good crop, and we went later in October. Those 2 things combined meant that we ended up needing to search a lot to find good pumpkins. This year, walking out into the patch, there were hundreds of awesome pumpkins to choose from. Liz found one straight away, but ended up changing her mind when she saw a better one.
This is Liz with her pumpkin. You can see a trail of pumpkins behind her. I took a photo of the trail of pumpkins as well, which was just one of dozens.
The 2 larger pumpkins at the bottom/front left are the pumpkins we got. After we had finished in the field we took the hayride back (we also took the hayride there) - the hayride is being towed behind a tractor in a big trailer thing with hay. I took a photo with the tractor and my pumpkin once we got back to the main entrance.
After the pumpkin picking we dashed home to get changed for a wedding. Kirsten and Matt were having their wedding reception, so we went along and had a lot of fun. We danced a bit, I felt quite self conscious at first but started to get over it the later it got. They also gave out pretty cool wedding favors (gifts to everyone at the tables): we all got a bottle of Frank's Hot Sauce. I cracked mine open to put on the salad. It was good.
We have been using Netflix since we got back - the most recent movies have been the 3 Ocean's movies. I think I liked Ocean's 13 most, then 11, then 12. I think what I liked most about 13 was the lack of Horseface (Julia Roberts). Next on the list is Shutter Island, which is due to arrive tomorrow.
We also learned what an AFR is. The show Undercover Boss was on, and they were working at a water park. They had an emergency AFR. The CEO asked what an AFR was. It's an Accidental Fecal Release. They then showed the CEO cleaning it out of the pool, but they blurred out the poo (making it pixel poo), so it looked like it had committed a crime.
Right now we have chili cooking - it's a late dinner tonight. Taste tests suggest it is the best chili we have ever made. I might finish it just before the new episode of South Park starts!!!
Also, Clone Wars better start delivering. The first 2 episodes were OK, but since then it's been pretty crap. Last week's episode felt too much like The Phantom Menace, just with different characters and a kidnapping. Next weeks episode doesn't look great from the previews either. The trailer for the third season looked like it held promise, so hopefully something good is coming. At least Ahsoka didn't show up until the 4th episode...
