Monday night for Family Home Evening we went to Packs Pumpkin Patch to get our pumpkins for Halloween. We took Brayden to a pumpkin patch when he was 14 months, and it has just kind of turned into a tradition since then. Every Halloween he expects us to go and Adisyn is old enough to get into it too!
As soon as we got there and started out into the fields to find our pumpkins Adisyn found hers immediately and carried it around waiting for "bubby" to find his. It took him a little bit longer as he wanted to find the biggest one there. BJ and I weren't too stoked on that since they are $.22 a pound, and we are the ones to have to clean out the pumpkin!! But after walking down a few rows and BJ shooting down the really big ones he found one he liked! There is also a cute little corn maze for the kids built out of bales of hay, they had so much fun running through there. It was so cute Brayden would wait for Adi to make sure she didn't get lost and every few minutes he would pop his head up over the hay to see where he was in the maze.
After the pumpkin patch we headed home for our "pumpkin" dinner. I cooked dinner in a pumpkin and then pizza dipping sauce for breadsticks served in a pumpkin. It turned out pretty good and the kids thought it was cool that the pumpkins had the food in them. It was a fun night!!

Trip to Vernal
Last weekend we took a short trip out to Vernal. We hadn't been out there for awhile and Patty wanted all of us out for a little get together. We had a good time! On Saturday we went to the dinosaur musuem, it was a lot of fun. I haven't been to the dino museum since I was like 8 years old, and the new building is really cool. There is a short movie presentation telling about how they discover fossils and stuff, then they have really neat exhibits of fossils and hands on activites you can do. It was fun! Brayden and Adi loved looking at the dinosaurs, especially the wooly mammoth! We had to record a show on animal planet called "Land of the Mammoths" for Brayden and he watches it almost everyday. His teacher was telling me how he was telling the class all about "Land of the Mammoths"! He is a big animal lover and knows all sorts of facts about a lot of different animals, his specialty is elephants, he can even make a sound just like one too!
