Prize-Winning Pumpkins

Journaling says it all: It's amazing how much a couple of pumpkins can do for a family. When Ray's pumpkin seeds from preschool didn't make it, Brad went out and bought Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds. We really enjoyed watching them grow and Ray helped water them and loved showing them to friends and neighbors. When it was evident that they were going to be quite large, Brad went looking for a pumpkin contest to enter them in. And wouldn't you know it, Boyert's Nursery was going to hold their very first Largest Pumpkin Contest! So, on the day of the competition, Grandpa came over to help and we took them to a certified scale and then to the nursery. Ours were the first pumpkins there. We returned at the time set for awarding the prizes to find out that only 2 more pumpkins were entered and they weren't as big as ours! Weighing in at 118 1/2 and 87 1/2 pounds, we won 1st and 2nd prize! It was very exciting and so much fun! To make things even better, we won a total of $500! We went out for dinner at the Dairy Queen down the road and the rest went for much needed Christmas money. At a time when we weren't sure how we were going to provide a good Christmas for the kids, this was a real blessing for us. And next year, Brad has promised pumpkins twice the size of these!
