Picking Pumpkins

This year we didn't get any pumpkins in our garden. We usually get tons of pumpkins so this year since we didn't get any we decided to go to a pumpkin patch to pick some. We went to Boyd's Aunt and Uncles place in Rigby. We went last year there to get our family pictures taken. When we went it was pretty windy and cold outside and towards the end of picking it started to sprinkle a little.

The kids were so excited to go. Once we got there though Kaelen decided pretty early on that it was cold and he wanted to sit in the car. It was pretty funny though because he would say "Mom I'm cold, sit in the car" but then he would run off and start telling us to look at more pumpkins. We really should have brought more clothes for the kids to wear.



We found some awesome pumpkins. The kids had the hardest time deciding on which ones to pick. Heck even Enoch had a hard time. He spent a long time walking up each area looking at pumpkins and then he would grab one that he liked and would put it in a pile. He at the end had about 6 pumpkins he was deciding between.



In the end Rachel picked 1 large pumpkin (over 14lbs) and 2 small ones, Jacob picked a medium sized one and a small one, Kaelen had a medium sized one and Enoch and I each picked pumpkins over 19lbs. Kaelen was the only one that never picked out his pumpkin. He would point to one he liked and then when we asked him if he wanted it he'd tell us NO and then move on to another one. He never wanted to hold the pumpkins too. Soon after we got to the pumpkin patch he got cold and pulled one of his arms into his sweater so he only had one arm out and walked around like that most of the time. He did at one point hold a pumpkin when we asked him to hold it but quickly set it down.



We really loved picking pumpkins this year and it was fun to do this together. The kids got what they wanted for carving this next week and we had fun together getting the pumpkins.
