The pumpkins keep getting bigger so now it is time for my kids' favorite video. Time to name the pumpkin! I think read every name to them 10 times while they try to make a decision on which name they should choose. Definitely making memories! https://youtu.be/HUF8uHyX2wE

Well that is a wrap on the 2021 season...as far as I can tell we are still the King's of Kansas unless a big one gets weighed in this next couple of weeks! https://youtu.be/E71DCD6gPwQ Unfortunately we were only able to weigh 1 pumpkin this year (it's Kansas so one isn't bad...at least that is what I tell myself!) 1434 Marintzer 2304 geddes x 1990 Marintzer
