The Pumpkin Farm

After Savannah's soccer game we headed to a Pumpkin Farm for our Stake Youth Fall Activity. First thing on our agenda was the Corn Maze. The maze was HUGE and there were a whole bunch of stations we were supposed to find. We had only found 3 of them when we happened to stumble upon the exit. Xander wanted to keep going but the rest of us were done with wandering. Every day we walk Savannah to the bus stop and every day Xander points out a pumpkin on one of our neighbor's porch. The people painted the pumpkin rather than carved it and it really is cute. It has huge squiggly eyes and a huge grin as well as teeth. Well, Xander loves this pumpkin and has been talking about it ever since he saw it. He says he wants a pumpkin with teeth. So, after doing the maze we headed over to the pumpkin patch so the kids could pick out some large pumpkins to carve and smaller pumpkins to paint. After spending about 10 minutes looking at all of the pumpkins, Xander came over to me quite upset. He said, "Mommy, I can't find a pumpkin with any teeth." It was so cute. Though there were none with teeth, we did end up finding some great pumpkins and the kids really enjoyed their time at the pumpkin farm.
