we're getting there

Yesterday Britt and I visited The Giant Kingdom. It's looking utterly fantastic. There are many smaller pumpkins growing, but Papa Pumpkin is definitely getting quite enormous. We used a piece of wood as a prop for the pumpkin so he won't start rotting underneath. I think it may be time to trim off some of the other pumpkins soon.

In other exciting news, Pepa was born yesterday as well. Congratulations to Josephina, David, and Ellen (along with all the other ranch residents). We welcome you Pepa and are so happy to finally meet you.

a mere 7 days have passed since my last viewing of the great giant pumpkin and unbelievable growth has happened. i think it is safe to say that the baby had doubled in size! this is incredible and a sight to see, a large yellow colored memory that i will never forget, the first time i grew a giant pumpkin with my dear friend alex.

the pumpkin is growing. it is bigger than your average grocery store buy and it looks like it is just getting started. the skin is still a light yellow and is very soft. we got to show it off to everyone in the photo collective (http://heretotherephoto.blogspot.com/) and that was great. i can't wait to visit again and see how grown up the baby will look.
