Our Annual Pumpkin Patch Adventure

Of all the pumpkin patches we have visited in our family life- this year we found the best of all. Last night for FHE, we went to Hee Haws in Pleasant Grove and it was so much fun. It was a nice warm night and we didn't get at all lost getting there so considering that alone, it beats last year. Here are some of the highlights.This was a mini maze for the kids- they loved it.

And here are the pigs- kind of, sort of, cute in a weird sort of way. There were pigs and goats and bunnies and cows. It was at this point where I pulled out the hand sanitizer and squirted myself and children about every two minutes (I'm not really much of a farm girl).

Unfortunately my camera batteries died when the great pig chase happened. They put the kids in a big pen with the pigs and had a contest to see which kid could grab hold of one of the pigs first. It was hilarious! Makenna was too scared to try but Brayden got right in there and ran after those pigs. However, when he came to the pig he couldn't quite bring himself to actually grab onto it. He gets an A for effort though- I don't think I could've grabbed a pig either. This pig was quite a sight- 1300lbs!!! I don't know if I should say Wow or Gross.

Makenna LOVED her pony ride and doesn't she just look like a pro?

This picture is like "Wheres Waldo?" only its "Where's Kenna?" It was like a sand box but it was dried corn, hence the "Corn Box"
And here we see the real reason we do fun "kid activities"- obviously more for Dad than the kids but he lets them come along too :) Yes, the picture below does show Kevin riding on the kids tractor pull. What a good dad!

Here is a picture of Brayden on the "Trick or Treat Hayride." It was a definite highlight. We all loaded up and rode through the pumpkin patch on a big trailer filled with had and at various intervals we were met by an array of costumed characters who pelted candy at us as we rode by. I guess it was fun...and a little dangerous. At one point the tractor pulling us ran out of gas so that made things even more exciting. It was definitely the stuff memories are made of!
And finally, we did make it out to the pumpkin patch to pick some very prized pumpkins. So now we are ready for Halloween- we just of course need to add one more member to our family to claim that very littlest pumpkin. Just 6 more days!!!
