Pumpkin Patch

It worked, my server connection is decent enough tonight to upload photos... and I feel like blogging:) So where were we, way back in October, the 15th to be exact. We headed down to Utah (despite me and Zach being sick) and spent all day with Mike's parents. We decided that it was about time that we visited a real pumpkin patch, one of those "firsts" in our marriage. It was pretty affordable, $5 a person (price included a hayride and a pumpkin, of your choice). I have never seen so many pumpkins in my life, I became attached to many different pumpkins and ultimately had to choose one, that one being a short rotund beauty:)

Mike was the lucky one, he got to pick two pumpkins out! The hayride operator decided that anyone who was torn in their pumpkin decision could go back and get the other pumpkin that they desired so much, to prevent any emotional meltdowns later. He found one that was big, tall, and still had a thick, green stem attached to it. I didn't go back and get one of the other pumpkins that I had looked at, I was content at this point with my pick.

Little boy with a big pumpkin, at least for his size

So many to choose from

Hayride!!!!

Kimball, Brandon, Marge, Marty, and even Zach got a pumpkin. The tricky part was trying to fit all 6 pumpkins in our car, so we had Marty help out a little. The funny thing about this pic is that he looks like a pumpkin snatcher, makes me laugh every time I see it!
I will, if possible, buy my pumpkins from a patch every year... Walmart is always a convenient alternative though:)
