Pumpkin Patch
We went to a pumpkin patch this weekend! First the tractor came and go us:
We all got on and rode out to the patch!
They took us out to a real pumpkin field with pumpkins still attached to the vine. Lu and Daddy looked:
Uncle Will and Tessa looked:
The girls looked:
Lucy found one!
And tried to pick it up.
“It’s STUCK Mama! IT’S STUCK!”
Tessa got one of a more manageable size.
While they got weighed, the girls played.
And afterwards we had really great Mexican food in Kuna! I got the Camarones Borrachos in a Molcajetes. YOM!
Lu liked it!
Our pumpkins are now safe and sound at home.
I have a bit of a pumpkin obsession and I’m only allowed to buy 1 pumpkin for each member of the family (pets don’t count) and I have to be able to carry them myself. (Shaun is SO MEAN-a girl wins one 125 pound pumpkin 6 years ago and never lives it down…) I’m happy with my purchase. The 2 non-traditional looking pumpkins can be baked and eaten and are quite delicious. SCORE!
I also got some amazing local, raw, honey. I can’t wait to break into that stuff! Have I mentioned lately that I love it here?!?!?!

You went to El Gallo Giro!!! I freakin’ LOVE that place. Best Mexican food in Idaho, and good choice with the Camarones Borrachos, also my favorite. Great minds think alike. I’m so glad you like it here, you make me like it here too.
Not sure if Utah is considered “the midwest” but this blog posting is about as midwestern as it gets! Isn’t it fantastic?
love your little pumpkin with the pumpkins!
The Pumpkin patch looks fun! I need to bring my little one out to a patch too. Lu is growing sooo fast and is cute as ever. I love your curls too by the way!
I just started working at a pumpkin patch and it’s so nice to work in an environment where everyone is there because they want to be! Kids and adults alike delight in picking their own pumpkins. Enjoy all that orange goodness!
Fun!! LOL @ winning a 125 pound pumpin!
