We Got the Pumpkin!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Fran Rokicki Realty, LLC

My Grandson and I, were on a mission, this morning.  We were out looking for his pumpkin.  We checked out some local stands and markets.  Nothing that we saw, seemed to be the one.  We will continue our search. While we were on vacation at WDW, we noticed how nicely they had decorated the resorts and the parks.  Here's some cool lights that are pumpkins and more decorations, on Main St in the Magic Kingdom!

WDW ~ Old Key West Resort, Florida 2011

This is at the Old Key West Resort, which is a Vacation Club Community.

This was in the Town Square of the Magic Kingom.

We went to Sam's Club, in Manchester, Ct, with our list of household items that we were in need of.  Just as we arrived there, it started pouring rain.  Good thing that we were prepared.  Rain coats and an umbrella.

To our surprise, they had huge pumpkins for $8.99!  Tyler, my Grandson, chose his pumpkin.  When I placed it in the carriage next to him, in the seat, it was almost the same size as he was!

Now, wondering if we should carve it, or save it for his parents.   Such a fun time for this little guy.  All new experiences and adventures.  Nice to be able to share these moments with him.  I still remember the days when we did this with our children:)  It doesn't seem to be, that long ago:)

Going to grab a bunch of pumpkins and popby my favorite clients!  Don't you love this fun holiday?

 

Happy Halloween!

How fun, and what a good idea to grab a few pumpkins and visit old clients!  We are going to enjoy the whole process just a bit more this year as we have a French Student living with us for the school year.  She is getting a kick out of what a big deal we American's make of a holiday!  Love the photos!

Matthew, Thanks!  Hope that you have a good Halloween, also.  Children do add to the fun!

Cara, She should see what they do in Florida!  I am amazed at what I have seen there, for decorations!  Hope she enjoys all of the festivities.  In my small town, of Bolton, Ct, all the kids trick or treat!  Including the high school kids.  It's awesome!

Pamela, There is a magic in the air, for sure:)  Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you guys find one you like!  I know the high quality pumkins are a bit harder to come by since the crops were hit all over the ocuntry because of all these rampant floods.  And it reflects it in the price as well...

Jennifer, Yes, in the last photo, is the one that we chose.  It is flat on one side, but, it will still work!  Parents' will do the carving:)

George, Thanks!  LOL!  That little guy is happy with anything!  I take him with me, everywhere, and he is always smiling and happy to go along.:)  When I deliver my pumpkin popbys, he will probably go with me!

Great pictures Frances, my daughter is 11 so we could not just go to a stand, we had to go out into the pumpkin field and pick one in the middle of no where. It was fun though and she was happy so it was worth while. have a great weekend

Scott, I am sure that next year, things will be much different for us, too:)   My Grandson loved going trick or treating at the Magic Kingdom. "Micky's Not So Scary Halloween Party."  He fell asleep at 8:30pm.  All of the excitement, tuckered him out!  He woke up, once we were traveling on the monorail, on our way back to our resort and was good for a few more hours!  LOL! He really got caught up in the magic:)

I don't remember my first to a pumpkin patch but my mom says that I cried because the pumpkins were so big and the pumpkin patch was all spooked out.

Jim, LOL!  Amazing how some things can frighten a child, yet, those same things bring back our fondest memories:)  At least, for your Mom:)

Donna, Yes, and thank you for commenting.  Some of my best memories are the days when my children experienced picking out a pumpkin and then, carving it:)
