The moving of a Giant Pumpkin

This pumpkin was bigger than the last so the procedure for moving it was slightly different. I will try to provide and accurate commentary. I will be a pumpkin expert yet LOL.








Dad with a tarp and a tractor








My cutie








Shot of the pumpkin








Digging down so they can try to get the straps around it...which didn't work...it was on to plan B


Bringing in the chains



Honestly one of the coolest things I have seen


Getting the tractor ready to go



Close up of Tom's fine chain work


This is the part where you hold your breath and hope nothing breaks, drops or cracks.


Again you hold your breath until the pumpkin is ON the pallet.




Getting a lift onto the truck


Dad's tiny pumpkin. It took 6 men to lift it.


Small pumpkin getting a lift to the truck


Both all ready to head to Windsor


Uncle Pete driving off into the sunset with the pumpkins LOL...off to the exhibition
