The boys first comment was, "Look at these cool places to put our sippy-cups! This van rocks!" They love the button for the automatic sliding side door as well. After that we were on a mission to find a pumpkin patch. I've always wanted to go to one. Darryl and I have never experienced the pumpkin patch scene since our parents would grow their own in their gardens. Since we've been married we've just bought them at the local store and called that good. Well our pumpkin patch experience was pretty much the equivalent of going to the store-- except for the fact that we paid twice as much as we would have if we bought them in the store. We went the "Historic Wheeler Farms." It sounds fabulous but it was a let down. The pumpkins were just piled behind a guy and we dug through 20 pumpkins looking for 2 unique pumpkins. There was a small spot where they had little pumpkins spread out and you could walk through and search those pumpkins but they were tiny. The boys couldn't have cared less. There was a small maze made from bales of hay that they were running through. Technically we should have payed extra for them to be in the maze but the pumpkins were at the entrance of the maze so they ran in while we were getting the pumpkins and we kept trying to coax them over to help us look for pumpkins but they were not interested-- 2 min. later we had pumpkins and Darryl headed to the car with them. We took the boys to see some of the animals they have there but it wasn't all that exciting. I was expecting this fun magical experience and it was that at all. :( Maybe next year we'll find a neat pumpkin patch with the displays, wagons, and a field filled with pumpkins.

A van, and 2 pumpkins later
Well today we saddled up and headed out on a mission to purchase a new vehicle. We've been looking at getting something new(new to us that is) since we found out we were expecting since our Allero doors won't close with 3 car seats in the back. Well after looking at crossovers and mini-vans we settled on a mini-van. We had found a few we thought we'd go look at today in Salt Lake at dealerships but ended up just buying the first one we went to see. We figured it was the best package/deal so why bother dragging out the day. We like it a lot-- it's very different than a car but my goodness to mini-vans have a lot of bells and whistles. We got a white '08 Toyota Sienna.
