Annual squeamish squash hunt

Joe and I don't have many holiday traditions figured out yet-- but one little tradition we have established is our annual hunt for a bizarre decorative vegetable.

We took the boys to the downtown farmer's market to pick out some pumpkins.

Then, joe and I went to the County Barn in Fairview to find some more interesting specimens. Joe was mainly looking for ugly. I was keen on finding yummy.

Can't wait to make "Red Warty Thing Soup" :)
