We Love Fall!

What is it about Halloween that makes it such a fun holiday?  One of my favorite parts is going to the pumpkin patch to pick out THE perfect pumpkin.  I refuse to buy my pumpkin out of a box at the grocery store.  That is a non-negotiable!

We didn't have school last Thursday and Friday, so we took full advantage of that time as a family.  We ventured out to the Petersen Family Farm for our annual pumpkin patch outing.

They also had a petting zoo.

Emma fed some goats.

 They also had a little market with fresh fruits and vegetables.  Who could pass up some sweet corn?

There was a corn box (instead of a sandbox).  That was quite a hit with the little ones.

A couple of days later, we had our annual pumpkin carving party.  

Emma made all of the "BOO" signs.

Emma's masterpiece...

This was her rendition of a pumpkin face.

Every year, people make scarecrows that are put up along one of the many trails in Park City.  We took advantage of a beautiful, fall Sunday afternoon to look at all of the scarecrows.
