Fall Festivities

This is a view of Layton from the mountainside where there is a very nice hike. On this hike, the girls heard a Rattlesnake. They stopped walking and asked what it was. I thought it was just an insect. But Gene said, "It's a Rattlesnake!" The girls were very smart to stop right when they heard it. It was right by the path. They would have gotten bit if they kept going. We decided this was a good place to turn around and start back. It was a beautiful day for a hike.
Leave it to Gene to find a recipe for salad in a Pirate book. This salad is called a Samondgunt or something like that. He wanted to try it out and it was really good!

So we went to the Black Island corn maze and other fall activites. It was a blast. They even had pig races. No, I did not win... They were real pigs.
Part of the day was to ride a trailer pulled by a tractor out to the pumpkin fields and pick out the pumpkin that you want. It is hard to believe they can grow so many pumpkins.

The sun was bright. We were in short sleeves during the day just a week and a half ago.

Katee and her friend trying to handle the pumpkins they picked out.

There's my man helping me out with my pumpkin! Thanks, family for such a fun day.
