Pumpkin Fun

For the past month it seems, my family has had cold symptoms on and off again. A cough and runny nose that strikes again just when you think it's gone. Has anyone else had this or are we the only lucky ones? This would explain why my blog has been fairly boring.
Well to spice it up, on Monday we went to get our pumpkins! I always love doing this. This year we tried a new place that I noticed once while driving to my friend Holli's house (thanks for getting me the number, Holli). I don't think it even has a name, but it's at about 11900 S. 3600 W. You won't miss it. There's an empty field and then a sea of orange.
Monday was a beautiful day in Salt Lake. I think the high was in the 70's. We played outside in the afternoon and it was lovely. However, when it came time to go to the pumpkin patch, the temperature dropped fast and the wind and ran began. It was fairly miserable, but still a fun experience.Family shot. We didn't get any of these pumpkins, but just wanted a picture before it got too dark. And yes, I colored and cut my hair. :)
This place had lots of tractors sitting around for those perfect Kodak moments.
Brooklyn and Eliza loving the pumpkins!
Riding in the wheelbarrow is always great!
Posing for pictures is a must.
They also had a kid's corn maze that was completely free. They said it would be boring for kids over 10, but it was perfect for this 3 year old.
We also enjoyed a tractor ride around the property that was free. What a great pumpkin patch! They don't charge by pounds, but by size. We paid $10 for 4 pumpkins and enjoyed all the other activities for free. You can't beat that! If you haven't gotten pumpkins yet, go check this place out. It's definitely a must!!
