One of my favorite things about fall is driving past my local Pumpkin Patch. It’s so fun to watch the kids being hauled around in the wheel barrow or running around looking for the perfect pumpkin.
This is Schmidt’s Farms located on 2200 West and 9000 South. I know anyone who lives in the West Jordan area thinks of this as a West Jordan Landmark. I can’t wait for them to open every summer and miss it when the tent comes down.If you are looking for a fun photo opp., It's worth the drive, Schmidt's tells me they have had several Brides come out just for pictures.
Whenever I'm looking for a crafty idea, I like to head on over to Pinterest. Here are a few Pumpkin decorating ideas that caught my eye.
