The Pumpkin Patch

There is a new pumpkin patch that opened up in Springville so I took the kids there this year to try it out.  Everything was free except the corn maze and then of course you had to purchase pumpkins if you wanted any.  It was pretty cute.  GREAT for little kids but bigger kids, not so much.  But we still had fun.  They zipped through the corn maze.  Honestly, their favorite part was picking old corn off their stalks.  

If I'd have known how easily they could have been entertained by CORN, I could have saved myself some time and money and just gave them corn!



They played in the corn pit, which was basically a giant sand box of corn kernels.


They had some slides


And they had a giant haystack that you could climb to the top of.



We also went on a hay wagon ride and we picked out lots of pumpkins to take home. 
**Notice that the kids are holding corn in every picture!  Seriously, the corn was a hit!**



We took our finds home and carved them the following Monday evening.  
Well, Sidney, Cade, Molly and I carved them at least.  Jeff and Jens were in the middle of watching a football game.



Sidney carved the bottom left one - the ones with the diamonds.  
Cade carved the one on the bottom right with the triangle eyes and rectangle nose.
Molly carved the top left one -  the one she's sitting next to.
And I carved the top right one - the cat one.
