Daniel's pumpkin patch!

We love all the fun pumpkin patches we have in this area. Each year we try to go to as many as we can but its been getting difficult as the kids get into school and trying to plan them all out since I protest them on weekends and refuse to fight the crowds. So today was a perfect weather day to take advantage of one. Andrew usually goes to preschool all day on Fridays but we made an except today and took him out for a couple of hours and today was also the beginning of fall break for Adriana. It was perfect today. There was hardly anyone there and the kids had almost the whole place to themselves. They never had to wait to do any of the things they wanted to do. We stayed for almost three hours and I finally had to make the kids leave to get Andrew to school in time for his second half. So here are a few pics of all the fun things we did.....
First we started off inside and of course had to go see all the animals. Adriana immediately had to run to pet one of the many horses.

The kids looking at all the other animals.

Hey guys there is more fun this way! Thanks Joey!

Next we went into one of the other inside rooms where they have lots of toy tractors to ride on and bins of corn to play in.






After spending about 45 minutes inside, we finally made it outside. The kids were so amazed at this corn thingy and I know had to play there for a good thirty minutes!



Next were the swings. I'm so glad my kids love each other so much and have no problem staying in each area until everyone is ready to move on. I've been so lucky with the three of them and I know they will grow up to have such a loving sibling bond with each other through their adult years!








Come on, lets find more fun things to do!

The boys then spotted all the tractors they could climb on and were in Heaven! The had to climb on every tractor and see what they could do on it.





Time for a little costume fun! Let's pretend we are one of these monsters!

AAAhhhhhh!


Whose tongue sticks out further?!?

Andrew, good job! That is the correct way to go down the slide!

Ummmm, no Joey! That is not how we go down the slide!

Ummm, Adriana that is definitely not how we go down the slide!

Before we left we headed back inside to pick out some pumpkins. I told each of them they had to carry what they picked in hopes that they wouldn't one some giant one. Joey picked out a little bitty one and I forgot to get a picture of him with his.
Adriana picked out a medium size one.

Then Andrew had to come along with this giant pumpkin. Yes, I did make the poor boy carry it but only to the counter. I was afraid he would hurt himself so I was a sucker and carried it to the car.

Yes, I know I can get pumpkins a lot cheaper at other places than what we paid for but I always think its part of the experience of going to the pumpkin patch. Thats what my parents did for us every year so I guess I'm continuing on with it for my kiddos!
We had such and amazing time and the kids had so much fun they spent most of the day just giggling away! So many memories the kids will gain with the pumpkin patches every year and I'm so glad I can be there to enjoy it all with each of them!
