Primary Pumpkin Patch

Meet the Brother and Sister Cleghorn. They are one of the most genuine and generous couples you will ever know. This year they grew pumpkins in their yard and offered them to our primary kids for a fun primary activity.
We began with some Halloween story telling done mostly by the kids, but our sweet Bishop agreed to read one book as well.




After the stories were read, we let the families walk down the gravel path to the pumpkin patch for the picking!

Ethan picked a pumpkin he couldn't carry, so these two wonderful boys helped Ethan get his pumpkin to the car.
I don't know what was going on with Ella, but she was full of drama for this picture.





After the pumpkins were examined, judged, picked and put into their cars, we had a hot dog lunch complete with pumpkin cookies! While I was busy taking pictures, Kathy was busy serving lunch. We make a good team!








Near the end of the fun, the rain started to drizzle but it didn't scare too many people away. Instead they found their way to the beautiful covered wrap around porch and continued to laugh and build memories together.

It was a fun activity! The kids are excited to carve their pumpkins. I keep trying to explain that it is too early yet, but they don't want to believe me!

What a fun Halloween Primary party! Those are some of the biggest home-grown pumpkins I've ever seen. I loved Ella's outfit! Only she could get away with something so unique as that on! And little Cannon--he looks so precious in his little hat and Halloween shirt.

Oh, Oh, Oh - - - my heart aches to be there with everyone in these pictures! I realize how much I love everyone there in Sunnyside, and even though I only got to pop down every once and awhile when we lived in Yakima, I could still get my Sunnyside fix. I miss you guys so much! Glad you had some fall fun!
