Tromping Through the Pumpkin Patch

We were able to check off a few things from our bucket list this past Saturday.  Doing the family pictures was so much fun. Thanks again to my wonderful SIL Nikki for doing them. After the pictures we came home to rest a bit and have dinner.  We had a plan to go to Fright Lights at Willard Bay. Willard Bay has a horse drawn hay ride, corn/straw maze laser tag and a pumpkin patch that kids under 12 can go pick out a free pumpkin. Then at night they have "spooky" lights that they turn on, like their Christmas lights except instead of Santa, elves and reindeer lights they have ghosts, pumpkins and witches. Plus concessions with hot apple cider and more. But I guess they aren't doing it this year because when we got there nothing was out or set up. No lights no nothing. American West heritage Center in Logan does something similar but we wanted to go to Willard to see the lights. Anyway we're going to look into it. Since there was nothing at the bay we just drove around the bay for a little bit watching the sunset. Then we decided to go to one of the fruit stand here to get some apples and pumpkins. Avery found this cute small knobbly little pumpkin that she just absolutely loved. she picked it out and picked it up herself. :) She carried it all the way to the check out lady and then to the car. (With a little help of course.)  Then she wouldn't let it go and cried when I took it away for a moment to get her in her car seat and buckled. On a side note she did eat a little of the stem...I don't think she liked it that much. :p When we got home James took the pumpkins to the front porch and Avery carried hers all the way from the car to the porch. No help that time, but I was close by just in case. :) We then put it by the pumpkin her Nona and Grumpy got for her too. Yup Avery has 2 pumpkins this year. Yes I know she's spoiled...but isn't that what you do with the first one. :p We had a lot of fun at the pumpkin patch.

Oh Yeah, Saturday morning we listened to Thriller and "taught" Avery the Thriller dance. She thought it was so fun. :)

 This is the look of Sheer Joy. :p Before she decided to take a bite out of the stem. :D

 All our Pumpkins...I don't know why we get so many every year. :)
 So just an update, Fright Lights is going on this year, we just went to the wrong marina. it's in the south marina by Smith and Edwards.
