Weekend in Pima

Brennen cutting the "perfect" pumpkin

Mak can barely carry hers

Garret and his long stemmed pumpkin, it took him forever to decide on this one!

Our hay ride from picking our pumpkins.

Me & my mom, she is amazing!

This past weekend we went to my brother Michaels house in Pima. We spent some time in the rain & the mud & it was a little cold at times, but it was a lot of fun. On Friday we went to the Fair Day parade in Safford, sorry for anyone from Safford, but the parade was a little lacking! The kiddos were totally bummed that they only got like 5 pieces of candy, and there were so many politicians, I honestly don't recall any actual parade floats. Best part of the parade was going to the tortilla factory & getting freshly made tortillas that were still steaming hot! After the parade we spent some time at Michaels house letting the kids ride their quads & the mule, they had so much fun. Saturday we woke up to 100 mile an hour winds (you would think we were in Snowflake or something!) and then the rain started in. After a little bit of rain we finally decided to make our way to Willcox to go to Apple Annies pumpkin patch. It rained on us the entire way, we figured it would be a complete mud hole, but to our surprise it was nice & dry! So we took a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and all the kids picked their pumpkins, then we took a hay ride back to the entrance & paid for our pumpkins. Todd took Bren, Mak, & G through the corn maze while I took Russ & we got kettle corn & shaved ice and sat in the extreme wind that had started up. The kids had a great time and it was fun to spend some time with all the family. This year we had around 40 people all together! It has become a yearly thing for us to go to Pima on the 2nd weekend in October. Typically we go to the county fair, however with the weather this year...not an option! It was still a great time, another weekend of memories made!
