T.J.'s preschool class went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week as part of Halloween Week 2008. There is this cute little pumpkin patch on about 4th South and Geneva Road in Orem and it is geared towards preschool age kids. They have a pumpkin patch, corn maze, playground, and a little petting zoo. They also have a "spook alley" that is not scary but is just full of lights and fun Halloween things without all the rotten stuff. It was a fun place, and T.J. and I had a great time!
His favorite part was definitely when the train roared right by the pumpkin patch place. It was funny because T.J. and I were just walking over to see the animals, and he just stopped and said "Listen Mom ... you hear that?" I didn't hear anything and tried to move him along since his group was leaving us in the dust. He wasn't moving, and sure enough, a big long train came right by us. We were probably 25 feet away from it, and T.J. was in an absolute trance. He didn't move. He loves trains, probably more than anything else, and this train was definitely the highlight of his day ... and probably his week.
He got to pick a pumpkin to bring home as part of the field trip. Grandma helped him decorate it with stickers, and he proudly posted it right at the front door so you actually had to step over it to get in the house. We've moved it to a better spot now, but I'll have to be really sneaky to get rid of this Halloween decoration (I would think it would rot and start to smell at some point - right?). He loves his pumpkin, and he's still talking about the train.

I don't know what it is about trains but they are pretty cool. We got stuck waiting for a train in Lehi and all my kids were mesmerized.
Isn't the place you are referring to actually a little nursery in Vineyard? We went to that one last year and it was plenty of fun for the kiddos...but we did not have the excitement of the train. Man, you are so lucky.
Oh, I forgot to ask you a question. What program do you use to make your little photo collages? I would love to do something like that with our blog.
Sharon, I use Picasa. It is free photo management software through Google. I love it. It organizes pictures you already have and places them into albums right when you download the program. It works really well with Blogger. It has a button right on the main Picasa page where you can just click on the pictures you want and then click "collage" or you can click right on "Blogger" from Picasa to have them go straight there. Pretty cool stuff.
I think you might be right ... that little place might be in Vineyard. What a cute little place!
He's so handsome!!
Okay, Keni is freaking out a little. Not that she doesn't think your little guy is a cutie, but she's never been to your blog and she believes this needs to be rectified. So, just so you all know - KELLY thinks TJ is one handsome little guy. : )
I got it. That's funny. Tell Keni, she is welcome to come on over to my blog any time she wants.
