SPRINGVILLE PUMPKIN PATCH

Steven and Alyson's children are spending time with us while their parents are running in a 24 hour Ragnar in Las Vegas. We have ferried children to soccer practice, football practice and games. We have shopped for crafts and today we drove down to Springville to pick pumpkins in a pumpkin patch.

Pumpkins were available in the field or already picked and waiting for you to make a Selection

Summer wanted to pick her own and was able to find a big one.

We are having our fourth annual Halloween Party on the 30th, so the girls helped pick out perfect pumpkins for all the children who will attend the party. They each chose one for themselves and I chose a number of pumpkins to decorate my home. The flat one on top is one of the ones I chose.

Macy enjoyed the petting zoo. There were donkeys, a kangaroo, a llama, a gigantic pig (sow), sheep, and baby goats.

Everyone was surprised that Summer had been able to find such a perfect pumpkin in such a "picked over" field of pumpkins.

All the girls enjoyed the two mazes made of large bales of hay. One maze was over their head, but one was for little ones who could see their parents at all times. Even the big maze had bales of hay so the children could stand on them and see over the walls. There was also a large area filled with kernels of corn and surrounded by bales of hay. It was like being in a big sand box.

We all enjoyed the day.

Chuck and Parker took the boat out this morning and caught one rainbow and three cutthroat trout. The cutthroat had to be release because they were not 23 inches long. Parker has a big game tomorrow and we will all be there to support him. Summer travels with her soccer team to Logan. Steven and Alyson will be running through the night with their team. One of Steven's legs is 10 miles uphill. He will run a total of 22 miles over the 24 hour period. They are a busy athletic family.
