For my week 6 adventure, I visited a pumpkin patch. Yes, i knew the month of October was coming to a close, but I went anyway. I am not very fond of pumpkins, but I have never carved a pumpkin before and it's always good to try something new. Now, the place wasn't a very big pumpkin patch with bouncy houses and games. In fact, it was very tiny and had pumpkins the size I was looking for. I wasn't looking for a huge $20 pumpkin, but just a small to medium sized one for $5.
I never knew how difficult it was to do pumpkin designs and such. From deciding which design to removing the guts to cutting, it was a lot more work than I thought. The guts were my least favorite part to remove. It was all squishy and stringy. Not to mention, it smelled awful. After 2 hours of carving and polishing the pumpkin so it looked clean, I completed my Cat Bus [from the movie, Totoro] pumpkin! I definitely would like to pumpkin carve next year.
