Pumpkin patch #1

I really, really love fall (if you can't tell) and love spending every minute I can enjoying it. Well that means going to all the pumpkin patch's there is in the area (which is quite a few!). Friday we took advantage of Adriana's half day and grabbed up Maw Maw and Jacob (who also had a half day) and headed on down to Theis Farms pumpkin patch which is my all time favorite! On the way my mom had given the kids the little teeth wax things she had bought and I couldn't help but get a picture of the silly kids in the back of the car acting goofy with them on. We finally arrived at Theis Farms and the fun began! It is my favorite pumpkin patch because you only have to pay one price to get in and you get to enjoy all the fun activities without breaking the bank! So we began on the tire spinning thingy.
The kids kept wanting me to spin them faster and faster and I was actually starting to get sick watching them!
I took Joey on the tire horse swing while the bigger kids were busy on some older things. He was loving this and kept laughing and yelling "Weeeeeeee" the whole time.
Adriana loves the zip line and does it over and over every year! Andrew did it last year but was too afraid to do it this year.Next they called out that it was time for the wagon ride (a favorite for the boys seeing the tractor!). So the three boys grabbed one of the hay bales and sat right down very excited!
MawMaw and Adriana sat on the other one.
After the wagon ride we continued on playing. Next we made it over to the pirate ship. A very favorite for Joey who loved putting all the necklaces on and dressing up.Adriana enjoyed trying to "drive" the ship.Last year I started the tradition of measuring the kids by the giant pumpkin every year. So here is Joey's picture from last year with a little help from his sister since he was only 10 months old.Here he is all by himself this year.Here is Adriana last year at 5 years old.
And this year at 6 years old (and wearing the same outfit.....haha! Not planned at all!).I didn't have a picture of Andrew from last year so my guess is that he didn't want it taken but I did get one from this year at 3 years old!Before we left Jacob had to get on top of the giant hay bale stack and yell that that he is "king of the world"!And we all got pumpkins before we left. I forgot to get a picture of the older kids with their pumpkins but here is Joey with his.
We had another fantastic time at Thies Farms and we really look forward to going again next year!
