October 18, 2014 ~ Pumpkin Patch Group Date

There are a lot of young, fun girls that work at the doctors office with me so we decided to do a big group date! Bailey and he finance were invited but they couldn't make it but it was Sarah (from billing), Taralyn, Brooke and I and our husbands. Taralyn planned the whole thing and invited everyone. We went to a pumpkin patch off of Stephanie right by Winco. At the pumpkin patch we got tickets to go to inside the petting zoo and then Taralyn shared a ticket with me so we could go on a ride together. We were pretty dizzy after the ride but it was still a blast! Brooke and her husband also did an obstacle course and raced! Before leaving the pumpkin patch Taralyn said that she always likes to find the biggest pumpkin and try to pick it up for a picture! After realizing that neither Taralyn or I could pick it up we decided we needed help from our handsome husbands. With the help of our husbands we were able to pick up the pumpkin and get a picture with it! After the pumpkin patch we went next door to Winco to buy some (much cheaper and bigger) pumpkins. After getting our pumpkins we all went back to Taralyn's house for dessert and pumpkin carving. Taralyn has a really cool back porch that they decorated with lights and it was perfect weather outside. It was a really fun night filled with getting to know coworkers better, fun activities, delicious desserts and of course slimy pumpkin guts!

 All the girls!

Lucas "helping" me pick up the pumpkin. He really was just shaking me and telling me not to drop it.

After getting back to the house we realized it's kind of hard for 2 people to carve 1 pumpkin, so I got all of the pumpkin guts out, we decided on a design together and then Lucas carved the pumpkin!
