The Scarecrow Festival

That pumpkin is just the right size

However, there are so many to choose from...

"What do you think Aidan?"

This pumpkin may be too small for Aidan's carving plans

Decisions, decisions...

Our little family

My Mom, Aidan, Me, and my little sister Katie

Seery is determined to haul this load!

Seery found "the one"

Aidan is meticulous in his choices, even if it is just a pumpkin.

Ever since 2004 we have attended the annually held "Scarecrow Festival" which raises money for Westridge Academy. It used to be held in Sandy across from City Hall and was a much smaller event. Last year and this year it was held at Thanksgiving Point and has had the space to be a larger event. Here are some of the activities that they had: bounce houses, blow up obstacle courses, a haunted house for kids, go carts, remote control truck racing, lots of games, comedians, jugglers, music, face painting, a boutique to shop, a pumpkin patch, and good food, to name what I can think of at the moment. We love going. It has become our family Fall tradition. This year most of my family met us there. It's rare that we all go out together with every one's varying schedules, so even better! We went on Saturday which has to be one of the nicest days we have had, perfect weather. Although we would go rain or shine.
