It's FALL...

So it is officially Fall and it is the month of October and that means... it is officially time to get pumpkins! Last week our little family went to the pumpkin patch so Broxton could pick out his very own and his very first pumpkin. It was such a fun night. When we got to the farm we took a little hay ride. The tractor guy dropped us off at the pumpkin patch where we were free to go and find the most perfect pumpkin. When we got off the hay ride and we were let loose. It was so fun watching all these little kids out finding their most perfect pumpkin. Broxton had a good time too, I think, even though he didn't have a clue what was going on. Next year will be even more fun when he can actually walk around and find his own. This year Dad got to help in the picking out of the pumpkins. After we found a pumpkin for Mom and Dad and one little one for Broxton we jumped back on the hay ride to go and have them weighed. Once they were weighed it was time for the corn maze! Brody was so excited because a radio station was there for "media night" and they had put buttons throughout the corn maze to find. If you found a button then you could turn it in for a prize. So after a while in the maze we found 2 buttons. When we turned them in we won a $15 gift certificate to Red Robin and 2 tickets to some fighting match. Brody was so excited! We had a wonderful time at the farm. Can't wait to do our family tradition again next year. Our pumpkins now reside on our front porch until it is time to carve them for Halloween.
