THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Last Monday the kids had a day off of school, so we headed to the St. George pumpkin patch and corn maze. Perfect weather, perfect company... it doesn't get better than that.
Luke looking cute before getting all dusty and dirty.

They had a great rope swing and the kids just loved seeing how high they could fly. Here they are lining up for a turn.



Fun tire swings hooked to a horse walker.
And of course the cow train. Luke loved this little ride and boy... the guy drove it fast.

Aspen, Mia, and Katelyn having a ball.
Cole found a fun tower and of course had to pose for me.
It took me a good 10 minutes to get Luke down from the tower. He wanted to stay up there all day.

He got pretty mad at me, and that set the tone for the corn maze. Notice I didn't get any cute pictures of Cole and Mia. I was too busy taking care of my sad little Luke, who trailed behind with his bag of Sun Chips.
And last but not least, we got to pick out our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch. We ended up with 4 wonderful pumpkins that we can't wait to carve. Thanks Geneva for making all the arrangements for this really fun day. We missed you.

Looks like it was a great place to visit! We were bummed that we couldn't make it. Geneva didn't make it afterall huh? At least she planned a fun activity for everyone else!

Wow! what a corn maze. I love the tire swings that look like horses. The photos are great, they look like they were done by a professional. Thanks for sharing.

That looks like an awesome place. We have a place in Syracuse that is similar but yours that one is way cooler. Poor little Luke with his sunchips. I wish I could have been there to pick him up!
