Every year, one of our favorite October traditions is to go to our authentic pumpkin patch in American Fork. A real farm that grows pumpkins. Well this year the farm decided to just go comercial and sell the pumpkins from a parking lot. Since the highlight for us is tromping through the patch and actually picking our pumpkins off the vine we drove around trying to find another patch. We found one that was part of a big halloween activity place that included a corn maze, petting zoo, bouncy castle, hayrides,etc., but since it cost $5.00 a person to get in and by the time we got there we only had about a half an hour left, we didn't want to pay $30 just to pick some pumpkins. We did get to walk past part of the petting zoo on the way in and out, so we felt like we got some of the flavor of a pumpkin patch. Then we caved and went to the parking lot.

We did get to talk to the nice farmer, so that made it feel a little more authentic.

Next year we're going to have to find another patch. Or finally grow some big pumpkins ourselves!
The day before we also got to have a fun outing at Thanksgiving Point with our friends the Kapps! Yea for Fall. Yea for UEA weekend.
