We tried going to the pumpkin patch in Castle Rock on Hazel Dell Road, since we enjoyed it last year, but there was no sign of it. Looking around, it didn't look like there were any local patches, so we settled for buying them at Fred Meyer this year. Our friend Laura was visiting, and she helped us with the carving, especially with helping the kids scoop out the insides. Tor was a little hesitant at first, but then had no problem touching it. The girls, of course, just dug right in. Looking at the porch picture, from bottom to top, the pumpkins belong to Bridget (accessorized with beads), Jillian (the larger of the two), Tor (small and mean), Mommy, Daddy and Laura (up top).
