At the Farm with Jasper

On Saturday, Grandson Jasper and I went to one of the local farms that host family activities before Halloween.  We had a great time running the hay maze, watching the trebuchet fling pumpkins (pumpkin chuckin'), feeding the pigs with broken pumpkin pieces, visiting the chickens, and riding horse and tractor drawn wagons.   After the farm, Grampa John and Jasper carved his pumpkin.

Oh my!  Is Jasper frighted by his scary Jack O' Lantern, or the beheaded Frankenstein behind?!?
Or, by the look of his shirt, maybe he's turning into a Zombie for Halloween!

The pumpkin explodes when it lands, breaking up into many pieces.
The kids run to gather them up to feed to the pigs.

Fun times!
