"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." ~Gordon B. Hinckley

Making it Up to Laetner at Mother Nature's Farm

After our very disappointing journey to Moo-ma-palooza last Friday, I figured I needed to put a better flavor in Laetner's mouth about what a pumpkin patch experience should be. So, since I actually had Court in town, we packed up the family and headed on over to Mother's Nature Farm in Gilbert.The kids had so much fun. There were the cutest piggies, and we were there at feeding time so they let Court show off his muscles and throw a pumpkin into their pen for lunch!
Waverly was in especially good spirits, as usual. She especially was happy since she got to hang out in daddy's arms all day!
He did let me hold her for one quick picture---golly gee, thanks Court!

We figured our way through the maze, high hoofed all the animals, road the tractor/hayride, and Laetner finally got to pick out his own pumpkin and decorate it. Such a smart idea to have foam stickers for the kids to decorate the pumpkins with. It took us forever to find all the letters, but we managed to spell out each child's name as well as the word 'boo'! And then continued to plaster stickers over the entire surface of our poor little gourds...errr squashes?



Good times were definitely had by all. It was pretty warm, but next year when we DO go again, we will probably go a little later in the day---we noticed that it is open until 9 p.m.

Ok, had NO idea that Laetner wore glasses. How freaking cute is he in those. Looks like you had a fabo time at the farm. Look forward to taking Maggie to that next year.

Don't you love Fall! Looks like fun! Hope it cools down soon out there. The specs are happening.
