Cornelius Family Pumpkin Patch

We were so excited to get out to the Cornelius Family Pumpkin Patch today!  We have been writing pumpkin poetry and studying the life cycle of pumpkins this past week.  We even watched a time-lapse video of a 405-lb pumpkin grow!
The bunch had a fantastic time picking out their pumpkins and identifying the 15 different varieties out at the pumpkin patch.  We learned that the Cornelius family grew around 60,000 pumpkins!!! WOW!  They are open to the public each Saturday in October, and you can also find their pumpkins at Sherms Thunderbird.
