I heard the advertisement for the pumpkin patch on the radio and I immediately had two thoughts: 1. it sounded like so much fun and 2. we needed to borrow some kids and go! That led to my next thought: call the Snells. They had the pumpkin patch on their list of places to go but were happy to let us tag along, so we did.
We went on Saturday, the 27th. It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining and blue skies and perfect fall temperatures. There were many free activities to choose from:
we spent time climbing on hay bales, 
we made our way through a small petting zoo,
we watched pig races, 
got lost in a corn maze and 
gave piggy back rides for tired legs.
Of course, the highlight was getting to go to the pumpkin patch. Picking out a pumpkin was not as easy as it sounds, when there are so many too choose from. You never know if the next one might be better than the last. So we walked and hunted and chose, then walked hunted and chose again. Finally everyone was happy with their pick. 
It was great to spend that time with Tyler, Caleb and Grace. They are great kids and we love them so much. 
Later that afternoon, Kelly and I went to our last UofA football game of the season. We were sad to see the season come to an end for us. Next year we will have to spread the games out longer so we can enjoy good football weather too.
