Pumpkin patch

Each year we find a pumpkin patch and Apple orchard to visit during the month of October.  We didn't find an apple orchard, but we did find a pumpkin patch. I got really mad at the kids the other day because every time we got in the car to go ANYWHERE they would complain. They just wanted to stay home all day, every day, all weekend long (which is awesome they want to be home-- but we do need to explore the world a little). So this time they were champs and didn't complain ONCE! They've wanted to do a real corn maze so I paid for us to go through one.  After 5 seconds I realized I wouldn't keep up with Kate and so they decided to go ahead by themselves.  15 minutes later the three boys came through the maze and said it was the worse experience of their life and they never want to go through a corn maze again. I was shocked because for the past 2 years they have begged to go to a big maze.  Well…they apparently got lost in the maze and were scarred they were never going to make it out alive! Well… bummer for them. At least Kate and I got some great pictures of her in her Halloween outfit! :) 

After our tractor ride, per Tanner's request, he was in terrible shape because of the sun and his skin was read, hot and itchy we left.  Oh and I have to add that I had one lady tell me I should take Tanner to a "voodoo doctor" who would cure Tanner's skin and another lady say, "oh my, is he having an allergic reaction?" It was epic.

We ended our trip at the BYU bookstore which is Christmas to the boys. They were HILARIOUS!  Never in their life have they EVER wanted to go shopping or asked for clothes.  They wanted EVERYTHING.  They kept saying things like:

 "oh Mom look at this sweatshirt-- I think it would look good on me!" 

"look at all this BYU gear! We are in BYU territory"

"The Utes would hate this place"

"I have never been around so many BYU fans"

"look at this shirt. Look at this sweatshirt. I think we need them"

Then we went to the book section and the boys got lost reading.  It was a dreamy trip!

GO BYU!
