Sad Little Pumpkin Patch

We wanted Finn to have a pumpkin for his first Halloween but we’ve never seen a pick-your-own-pumpkin patch in Switzerland. There’s a local farmer who puts his produce out in a field so we made this our pumpkin patch. It was slim pickings in the pumpkin department. There were two oblong pumpkins that were flat on one side, and at 20 francs (23 US dollars) a piece Finn wasn’t getting one. We ended up with a squash for 6 francs that looked enough like a pumpkin for a three-month old.
