Cache Valley really knows how to do Fall. There are always fun things to do here in the Fall. Here are a couple of our favorite Fall Traditions. First is the North Logan Pumpkin Walk.
This has always been one of our favorite activities to do in October. The Pumpkin Walk is an awesome display of scenes made entirely out of pumpkins. This year the theme was "Out of this World." There were definitely some out of this world displays. I am always in awe at the talent of the people that build the displays. Above are some of our favorite scenes from this year. The best had to be the Peter Pan scene complete with a full scene of London, Neverland, and the Jolly Roger. It even had a flying Peter Pan. Other favorite scenes were the Space Jam and Encanto scenes. There was also a huge scene from Avatar that was really cool too.
After walking through all of the displays, we had to say hello to the Pumpkin Walk Witch and get our doughnut hole. The kids couldn't leave without getting a few pictures in the photo ops. These are the same every year but they are still fun. We love the Pumpkin Walk!
Our next fun tradition of Fall is the Fall Harvest Festival at the American West Heritage Center. This festival is always fun because it's like we are stepping back in time with some of the activities we get to do.
Here we are learning about candle making and we actually got to dip our own candles. We also learned how to make yarn dolls like pioneer kids used to play with. These little dolls turned out really cute. Logan and Charlotte helped me prepare for this activity by helping me cut lots and lots of bundles of yarn for the dolls.
No trip to the Heritage Center is complete without a pony ride or a train ride.
Charlotte and Logan are the only ones that can ride the ponies right now. They love it! They both waved to me as they rode passed on the ponies' merry-go-round. The train is something we can all do. We basically take up a whole car but it's worth it. We took this picture of us on the train and later we realized that our friend, AnnMarie, had totally photo bombed us in the back. Oh well we'll always remember her.
The Fall Festival always includes the Corn Maze!
Corn Mazes are definitely a tradition of ours. I like going during the day because then I can see where I'm going. I am not really a fan of Corn Mazes in the dark.
This year, Colby was set on not getting lost. He wanted to navigate us through the maze using the map as a guide. He did a really good job too. I don't think we got lost at all.
We all followed along having a great time. Once we had made it all the way through to the exit, the big kids wanted to go back through without the map. They even timed each other to see who could do it the fastest. I think it took our family about 45 minutes to go through the maze but it only took the kids about 13 minutes to run through by themselves. They went through about 2-3 more times after that as well.
In the meantime, Charlotte and Brooklyn had fun playing on all of the yard toys.
Brooklyn especially liked riding on the bouncy horses. She boinged and boinged around the whole place just having a great time. She did get bucked off a few times but got right back on to ride again.
This was the perfect day to visit the Heritage Center and the corn maze. We had a great time. We love all of the fun Fall activities in our community.
