The first winter storm was rolling in about 11a. We were hoping that we'd be able to grab our pumpkins and get back on the road before the storm hit...but if we weren't so lucky, it would be seen as an adventure. And it was an adventure.
On the way out Jon had a short conference call...
But Max wouldn't be quiet, so I let him play games on my phone to keep him distracted.
Sweet Zac, was patiently waiting his turn (when Dad would get off the phone).
And I was impatiently waiting for attention from Jon :]
We got there at 10:30a, right when our friends the Grossen's got there, and the tractor was ready and waiting. It was barely sprinkling at this point, so I grabbed the umbrella just in case...
With the weather we weren't able to get our traditional family pic on the hay ride.
Zac getting wet as the rain picked up.
Max is pretty soaked. Luckily his coat was scotch guarded. When dry Max's coat is not shiny.
We each took a boy and walked half way down the patch and took 1 min. to chose a pumpkin for each boy and then went back to the canopy. The rain really started to come down.
Mud from Max's shoes because I was holding him
Gratefully, a truck from the barn came to take the little babies back to the barn, so they didn't have to wait in the rain on the tractor.
Me fairly unsuccessfully attempting to hold the umbrella over me, Max and little Jack who was sitting behind me.
See how soaked my pants were!
And Jon's wet hair! He gave his beanie to Max.
We hung out at the barn had doughnuts and apple cider. Then we went to the Grossen's to watch the BYU football game. The rain was really coming down!
And it had snowed on Timp while we were at the barn
Here's Max falling asleep on the way home. I'm glad we had the DVD player in the car.
The pumpkins got frozen outside that night and the next night since it snowed. So we didn't end up carving the pumpkins.
