Pumpkin Patch 2015

Being off work on the weekends has its advantages.  Like, getting to go to the pumpkin patch with your family!  We ventured out last weekend on a perfect Fall day.  At Cottonwood Farm, we enjoyed lots of animals, pumpkins and festivities.  

 This guy is not as cute & cuddly as he looks apparently!  Yikes!

 On the other hand, the donkey was super sweet & loved to be petted.

 The animals reminded me of being on my Grandparents' farm when I was little.  I loved playing with my Granny's goats!

 We tried to get lost in the corn maze, but kept hitting dead ends.

 Sean, the photo-bomber.

 We searched & searched for the perfect pumpkin.  There were so many to choose from!

 Loved this team work from the boys...

 ...melts my heart to see them help each other.

 Finally made it. Whew!

 Proud of their haul.

 Silly.

 Successful pumpkin experience 2015.

Looking for the Great Pumpkin

I was lucky enough to get the day off on Carter's actual birthday (yay!), so we (and by that I mean Sean) spent all morning putting together a zillion new birthday Lego sets with the boys.  We took a family trip to the pumpkin patch that afternoon to get a break from all that brick work.  It was a fun, muddy outing.  The boys didn't seem to mind, but I'm glad we decided not to take the electric car.  Sorry, babe!

 The birthday boy!

 Brothers.

 Looking for the perfect pumpkin...

 Nope!  That rotten one is NOT it.

 Love them!

 The bouncy slide was surrounded by mud.

 Cookies make everything better.

  Fun with wooden cut-outs.  

 This way through the hay maze!

 Meeting a pony.

 Fall family picture fun.

Pumpkin Patch

The boys and I met our friends at the pumpkin patch last Friday. We had so much fun that we never actually made it out to the fields to pick our pumpkin!

Strange chicken

Davis loved the baby pumpkins.

The jumpy elephant (far right) was a big hit & so was the huge slide!

Checking out the ducks...

and the goats.

Looks like Fall!

Going down the slide for the 100th time.
