Pumpkin Patch

Fall Break for Nebo School District was a week and a half ago, October 10-11.  Casey decided to take Friday, October 11th off work and spend the whole day with our little family.

Casey surprised Mason and me by taking us to a pumpkin patch in Springville, he also invited his mom who brought along  Uncle Phil and Aunt Cait.  We had a great time spending the morning with family at the pumpkin patch.

We first visited the small petting zoo.  When I say small, I mean very small!  The petting zoo consisted of about 5 animals:  a small pig, a goat that was born with only 3 legs, a very large fat pig, a donkey-Mason's favorite, and a llama.  I'm not sure where Mason got his love for animals, he was loving petting the small animals and letting the animals lick his little fingers.  Don't worry, Casey was prepared with about 10 disinfectant wipes to wipe Mason's hands with after he touched the animals! :)     

After the petting zoo, we decided to hop on the tractor ride.  The tractor ride took you around the farm to view all the pumpkins.  Mason rode on Phil's lap during the tractor ride and he loved every minute of it. 

After the tractor ride we took Mason through the haunted house, which consisted of a few pieces of white fabric hanging from the ceiling to look like ghosts.  I'm glad it wasn't too scary for mine and Mason's sake. 

After the haunted house we went and picked out a pumpkin for Mason to take home.

 

There was only one worker working the whole farm.  He was doing the tractor rides, selling pumpkins and watching over every thing else.  Mason found a pumpkin just as the worker decided to take another round with the tractor, so while Casey and Roz were patiently waiting for him to return Phil played with Mason on this large mound of hay. 

After buying pumpkins and playing on the large mound of hay we headed over towards the pit of corn.  The pit of corn was a large area that was full of corn kernels.  We had fun burying Mason in the corn kernels.  We had to watch Mason very carefully because he would try to eat the corn kernels. 

 After playing in the corn kernels for about 30 minutes we decided it was time to take our little guy home and put him down for a nap.  After taking him home, we changed his clothes and found corn kernels everywhere:  in the hood of his sweat shirt, in his pocket  of his pants, down his onesie, in his shoes, and down his diaper!  Mason took a long nap after being worn out from all the fun at the pumpkin patch.

We had so much fun spending the day with family at the pumpkin patch.  We are so glad Casey had the day off so he could spend the day with us!  Although, I don't like the weather changing, the fact that I have to put away all our summer clothes, and looking out our front window and seeing snow all over the mountains, I love this time of year because there are so many fun fall festivities.  We're looking forward to spending more time with family doing more fun things this fall!!
