Pumpkin Carving

Last night we decided to carve our pumpkins for Halloween. MacKelle wanted a mad kitty, and Trace wanted Yoda (Who else?) Let me tell you, I don't think Yoda is supposed to be made from a pumpkin. Trace kept telling me that it didn't look like Yoda. When I told him that I was trying my best and that it probably won't look just like Yoda (and maybe it'd look like a goblin) he started saying that it looked "Just like Yoda". Maybe next year he'll pick something easier. Ü

The Great Pumkin Patch

After seeing the fun some of our friends/family had going to pumpkin patches, we decided to find one. We found The U-Pick Red Barn in Idaho Falls that was so much fun! They had pumpkins EVERYWHERE! Not only pumpkins, but watermelon, and other yummy produce.
Here is a picture of some of the pumpkins (they were like this in every direction).
You can also get eggs, and behind Trace and MacKelle you can see some of the chickens. The kids were so cute! There was a lot to do there and they were excited!
We are starting the search for the best pumpkins. We made a rule that they had to be able to carry their pumpkin (So we didn't end up with the biggest one there and we had Mason to carry Ü).
Mase seemed to like the pumpkin search too.
The kids went through the straw maze (about 5 times).
Justin and Mason too. I think Justin and I had as much fun as the kids (Maybe more, check out Mason's and Justin's faces Ü)
They also got to ride on a "train". Trace was very excited and MacKelle started off a little nervous. As the ride progressed they both relaxed and had more fun.
Trace even jumped off and back on! I'm sure they were ready to kick him off, but it was a great day and a fun fall activity.
