South Ridge Farms Pumpkin Patch

This past Saturday we took the kids, along with our neighbors, the Delle Donnes, to Rowley's South Ridge Farms to go on a wagon ride and visit the pumpkin patch. This farm is located in Santaquin and even though it's a little farther than the other patches near us, it's a fun place to visit because of its big red barn and authentic farm feel. Though this place doesn't have animals, they do have acres of cherry and apple trees. Our wagon ride went down through these orchards and finally came to a stop at a large field full of orange pumpkins. Noah was the first one to find his perfect pumpkin and after some help from Dad, Jackson soon found his too. Alora, on the other hand, cared more about playing in the dirt than finding her pumpkin. Mom ended up choosing one for her. The boys now can't wait to decorate and carve the pumpkins!

Jackson thought this pumpkin was cool. Maybe we should have got it because the guts were already scooped out!

I keep running down to that farm for fruit because it's such good quality. Looks like I'll have to take Lizzie down for the hayride and pumpkin patch. You guys got some pretty big pumpkins.
