Pumpkin Patch

It's that time again! Halloween is like my FAVORITE holiday, for many reasons. One of those reasons being..... Finding the best pumpkin in the Patch.

Bill and I decided that last night we should go out and get us a pumpkin, i mean it's just tradition. So we called up my little sisters to see if they wanted to go with us, and they did.

Elise, Jenny, Bill and I headed over to the pumpkin patch at Goldenwest College. I just love that pumpkin patch. I think I've been going to that one since i was a little girl. Once we got there we just had to take some pictures to document our fun! I took a picture by the height pole, as usual I'm still only 5'5. I was hoping to be a little bit taller, but seeing that i haven't grown since the first year of high School i don't see that happening anytime soon. After that we started looking for the best pumpkin in the bunch.

Now there are a few things to look for when choosing the best one. Bill and I like to have a sizable stem still on the pumpkin, Plus it has to sit right NO wobbling, we also like our pumpkin to be wide enough for a good face and tall enough so the mouth isn't sitting on the bottom of the pumpkin. Finding the right pumpkin is like finding the right partner in life, you have all these perfect ideals of what you want but ultimately when you see it you just know it's the right one for you.

Once we found our pumpkin (which didn't take long) we stopped by the barn animals to look at the little baby goat, he was so cute! i wanted to take him home, but Bill said "not a chance". I think Elise liked the little guy too. As for Jenny she was hitting me up for quarters so she could ride on the little rides they had there. That child will always be a kid at heart, man do i love her!

We hung around there for a little bit just walking around and looking at all the fun stuff they got going on at the pumpkin patch, after about an hour give of take a couple of mins we took our 3 pumpkins up to the counter paid for them and headed back home.
