Family Night Out

We have to be kind of tricky with family nights because of my rotating shifts. A few years ago we took the kids to "The Pumpkin Patch" in North Logan. They loved it so much that they have asked to go back ever since. Well this year we were fortunate to be able to go again. It is a 5 day event and we are kind of at the mercy of my days off. We were excited to go again.

The setup of the event is this, people create scenes using pumpkins as part of whats involved. You walk thru a path in the park that is lined with hay bales that have carved jack'o'lanterns on them. If you go at night, all of the pumpkins have lit candles inside of them, and the scenes are illuminated. There are people there dressed up in costumes, and there are fun things for the kids to do. The last time we went it was SOOOOO cold. This year we went a bit early and were glad that we did. While we were there (at the event) the temperature dropped 5 degrees. And when we left Logan that night, it was about 20 degrees colder than it was when we got there. Here are a few pictures, enjoy!


Brian was very excited that someone decided to go along with the fireman theme. He loves firefighters and about everything to do with them, he was very disappointed that the ladder behind him didn't make it into the picture, but he would have been even more disappointed if the fireman missed his photo opportunity as well. Some of Brian's favorite themes were Indiana Jones and Batman. Kallie liked anything with a princess in it.

Here are Brian and Kallie's best kung-fu moves. How appropriate that they are at the Kung Fu Panda themed scene. Whoever painted the faces on the pumpkins, they did a very good job with the tiger in the back, because it looked very real.

Some of the fun things for kids are these character cut outs, there are many more pictures, but we only posted one of each. We thought Kallie made the best Little Mermaid.

Now we never knew what a good Yoda we had in the family. But when Brian put his head in there, it was a perfect fit! The force is strong with this one.

After dinner we took the kids to eat at The Iron Gate Grill. All of the food was excellent, and the kids had fun trying a new place. If anyone is interested the pumpkin even goes until Monday, and its free! Get a hold of Natalie or me if you have any interest and we will give you directions.
