Pumpkin Patch

Now that it's officially fall (YAY!), we are trying to get out as much as possible to enjoy the amazing weather, festive activities, and make precious memories as a family.  Nothing says fall like big, orange pumpkins - so, naturally, we went to the pumpkin patch.  We chose Schaefers and Collins Pumpkin Patch this year and it was awesome!  They have a huge play area for the kiddos, barn with baby animals, pony rides, train rides, hay rides, and a corn maze.  We all had a blast despite the rain - we weren't able to go on the hay ride because of the rain, but M had already played hard and was tired.  I'd like to go back if we have time before the season is over.  On a side note about fall - I am trying out several new fall inspired recipes (pumpkin galore) and it makes me SO happy!!!  I may have to share some of our faves :-)


Matthew LOVED the slide!  Mike's face cracks me up because his hips kept getting stuck.


M also learned that climbing up a slide is more fun than sliding down

That face - he was having so much fun!!!


Example 2 of loving climbing up the slide


He also loved the pumpkins!  He would walk around looking at and touching each pumpkin.  He also enjoyed riding in the wagon with all of the pumpkins we were going to buy.





"PUMPKINS!!!" - can you tell he had his mouth open talking the whole time???


My two boys love pigs - they were mesmerized
 
 And, of course, we couldn't leave without a few photo ops.  These are 2 of my faves :-)


I L-O-V-E this time of year and I can't wait to start many new traditions with Matthew!
