Pumpkin Patch

Fall is one of our favorite times of the year at the Beckstead house, but each of us has our different reasons. Ryan loves that it is time for college football, Lexi loves picking out her Halloween costume and I love that the HOT summer is over (I know...weird)!!!
One of our favorite traditions since moving out to Herriman is visiting the pumpkin patch that is not far from our house. The last few years we have waited too long to go, so this year we decided to go on opening weekend.
Lexi had a blast picking out a pumpkin for everyone in the family. She even picked out a little small one for the baby. She was so excited about all the different pumpkins. She had her sites set on a white pumpkin and that is the one she picked out.
In addition to having a ton of pumpkins, there is also a corn maze for the kids to play in. Ryan tried to take Lexi through it, but she was a little scared. Oh well, we can try again next year.
We ended up with seven pumpkins in all different sizes. We can't wait until it gets closer to Halloween so we can carve them into fun Jack o' Lanterns. Right now they are helping to decorate our front porch.
This is just the first of many fall activities - We like to make the most of this time of year!!!
