Pumpkin Farm

Bean and I took a girls' day (with Hubby still deployed, "girls" is kind of a given, but you know what I mean!) to go try a Gyro and then visit a pumpkin farm.

A good friend told us that we could actually get Gyros on FLATBREAD (instead of a big fat bread roll) at a kiosk in front of the local hardware store. They were awesome (although, I will remember for next time that when the nice girl asks me "do you want spicy?" the answer is "NOthankyouverymuch!" I hope eventually the feeling will return to my lips and tongue)! I can't wait for Hubby to get home so we can take him there.

After the yummy Gyros (aka Doner Kebap here in Germany), we headed out to find the pumpkin farm. After Pioneer Woman's posts last week about making your own pumpkin puree, I thought it would be a fun and loving gesture to make Hubby his favorite dessert really-really from scratch this year. The drive there was gorgeous!! I don't remember us having fall color like this any other year (maybe that means we'll have a *real* winter this year, please oh please oh please??). Here are some pics Bean took while we were driving: Even without my GPS, it was very easy to find. Here are some of the sights that greeted us once we got there:

Nope, I don't think we can take this one home!!!

We got one perfect carving pumpkin, 3 cooking pumpkins, a baby pumpkin for Bean to do something with that she won't tell me what it is, and some SUPER yummy pumpkin butter. It was a perfect fall day and I made some great memories with my girl. Thanks, Bean!!
