The Pumpkin Patch

Saturday morning Tyler and I decided to take Sophie to a pumpkin patch. After searching for one around Logan we found one not too far away in Paradise (no pun intended). So we hauled ourselves into the car and set on our way. Sophie had no clue what we were doing except that it involved the word "punkin" which she proceeded to say most of the way there.

Once we got to the Paradise Valley Orchard we found most of the pumpkins picked already....guess that is what you get for being lazy in October. Anyway the man there was really nice and gave us a wagon for our pumpkin finds and said there were still some good ones out there.

So off we went! Sophie loved the wagon, she insisted on sitting in it and refused to get out when it was time to put the pumpkins in. She kept telling the pumpkins to, "get out!!"
Here is my disgruntled daughter trying to throw the pumpkins out while I am trying to convice her to leave them in and look at daddy for a picture. Oh, the things kids do when you want a cute picture.


Here's Sophie trying to pull the wagon when she failed at trying to get them out. She doesn't look like such a happy camper does she?....

Finally daddy came to the resuce and started pulling the wagon which she ran to catch up with so that she could help pull.

After we got to the car she was having a great time...too bad it was time to go home. She did not want to put the pumpkins in the car, she wanted to pull them in the wagon. Then she realized that once the pumpkins were out she could get in. Needless to say it was a power struggle the whole time, thank goodness for Tyler and his help!

Once we got home she was a happy girl and helped unload the pumpkins and would talk to them. "Mommy punkin, Daddy punkin, baby punkin...." and then proceeded to blow kisses to them. She was also excited to learn that soon we would be putting faces on them. "Faces on punkins!" and so ends our "punkin" patch saga.
