Lily and I went to the Sweetwater Valley Pumpkin Patch on Friday. We went with the play group from the ward. There was so much to do. First the kids got to make a scarecrow by stuffing him with straw, then we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch.

At the pumpkin patch Lily was all over the place picking up every little pumpkin she could find. We didn't know it was going to be a little muddy and she kept getting her hands dirty and looking at them like "Uh O, what do I do with this?" She finally threw down the pumpkins and was ready to hit the road. I picked up the first pumpkin she had picked out to bring it back and pay for it as our souvenier.

She can't help but be a little cheese.... she is actually saying "cheeeeeeese", in this picture.

After the patch we feed some pigs, goats ( a great big Billy goat) and some chickens. Then we watched to older kids mine some gems. The cost to mine was $7 and we forgo that part since Lily was just to little. Then we went on a hide and seek nature walk that was followed by lunch picnic style. It was a great afternoon and the only cost to us was the 50 cents for our little pumpkin. I recommend this place to others in the area.
