The Great Pumpkin King


Later towards the evening on Friday we went to "The Great Pumpkin King" Festival on a local farm in Sandy. The kids got to pick out pumpkins from the patch. They ran along the rows trying to find that perfect one. I could hear mason saying "too orange","too small", "too oval" was he walked pass some. However when he found his perfect one he knew it. He insisted on this huge pumpkin that he couldn't carry without dads help or rolling it around on its side . We tried to talk him into a little bit smaller one that he could carry but he really wanted it so how could we say no. Hailey was excited she got her baby pumpkin she wanted. Mike and I also picked up a pumpkin each for us to carve later.
Also at the festival we got some fresh apple cider (YUMMY!!!) that mostly Mike and I drank right from the bottle. My parents met us there so they can share in the autumn experience especially since they were the ones who told us about this. However thanks to grandma we all got hot dogs, hamburgers, and candy apples. Thanks mom for the sugar rush. And when night fell we all sat on blankets to watch the Charlie Brown "The Great Pumpkin King"movie they were showing on the side of a truck. We all had a great pumpkin time. Ha Ha
