Johnson Family Pumpkin Patch - And... It's FREE!!!

Yesterday was one of those weird days... I decided to go on a cleaning spree in the morning and chose our wedding music to listen to while we were busy working because I love all of the songs we chose. I guess that wasn't the smartest choice because I pretty much cried all day - I was really missing my Dad yesterday. Despite the tears, we still cleaned the house but every thing after that was really annoying me. Including the Arizona Pumpkin Patches. We took the girls to a pumpkin patch last week when Col was here but it was getting dark so we didn't get any pumpkin pictures. We were thinking of bringing them to another one to actually get our pumpkins, take pics, etc... and they all charge so much money JUST to get in! UGH. The one last week was $9/person and this other one was going to be $10/person & that's just to get in. Not sure why that really annoys me, but it does. That means if we went to both places, we would have paid close to $100 to step on their dirt. SOOOOOOOOO.... I am boycotting the AZ Pumpkin Patches this year and we made our own!

TARGET here we come!!! $1.99 pumpkins = perfect!!

Brooklyn had to feel them all to see if they met her expectations...

and then they decided they wanted the little ones - I love their faces!

So we got 5 pumpkins and got to swing on the cart like monkey's - all for $12!


And then we made our own pumpkin patch in our own backyard. Haha - they looked really thrilled with me here and not very impressed with our pumpkin patch!

Then they got more into it here and started to think that our pumpkin patch was pretty cool!

and our pumpkin day was complete with a wagon ride (borrowed from our neighbor). They don't look happy here but I can tell you that we went down every street in our neighborhood and they still didn't want to come home!

Today is a much better day, AND I was able to listen to our music again with no tears and we danced like princesses instead! I know that made Pop Pop smile!
