So no one has written on here in about a year so I just wanted to post something. I figure this may be a good thing to get back to using since we are even more spread out than we have been. (Not that we don't talk to each other on the phone all the time, but you know, sometimes we forget to tell each other stuff.....Jessie :) ) Anyway, not much really to report right now.
Spence and I went with our friends Jeff, Missy, their daughter Erin, and Spencer's brother Josh and sister-in-law Steph and our nephew and niece, Drew and Natalie to Southridge Farms. It's an orchard/farm/pumpkin-patch a little way south of Provo. They take you on a hay ride out to a pumpkin patch and let you wander around for awhile and find a pumpkin (or six) to buy and take home. They also have those cardboard cutouts that you stick your head in with pictures of ghosts and pumpkins. It's a lot of fun.
We actually went there last year with Eric and Karen, so they know what we are talking about. This was so much fun because we were there with a couple absolutely adorable 2-year-olds. They were so excited to ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor and then see horses at the pumpkin patch. Erin found a perfect little pumpkin just here size while Drew wasn't content till he made his dad take home the biggest pumpkin he could find. But the best part was that both kids stopped every time they saw a camera, posed, made a cheesy grin and said "Cheeeese!" It just cracked me up, they are such little camera hogs! Ha ha! :) (I'll post some pictures when I get a chance to load them on my computer.)
The saddest thing was that the farm no longer sells their homemade cider. It was the best stuff ever!! Just ask Eric and Karen, they'll concur I'm sure. I think it's cause it's not pasteurized or something so there are regulations....or whatever. But I sure miss it. But they did still have their apple cider donuts which are quite delicious. Mmm, mmm! And homemade ice cream (which I have never actually had because it's much too cold for that.) It was a great day though and I ended up finding some of those mini gourds and a wicker basket to put them in. So now I officially have one fall decoration for the season. Ha ha!
