Love the Pumpkin Patch!

We had so much fun last Sunday at the Pumpkin Patch at Stony Creek. The weather was perfect and we played for 3 hours!

Here are the kids as we first entered... they're holding hands as they go to explore the hay stacks! How sweet is that...Animals are always a hit! They loved the goats, horses, turkey, chickens, pigs & cows. Here is Nate telling me "come on mama!"


The turkey was really neat. But, later in the day it gave Patrick quite a scare!! He was kneeling down when out of the blue it started gobbling profusely! We all jumped and Patrick soared as he ran to hide behind my legs. It was hysterical!!
I love this one of Nate... he's "thinking" as he puts his finger to his chin....who knows though what goes through that child's mind!
Ethan loved it. He loves to be outside and especially giggles when the wind blows.
Here - we tried to get a photo with the kids... trying to get all of them to look and sit still is an adventure in itself!
Look at Nate's face here...he's thinking something mischevious I know!
Sweet baby.
Oh my Nate!

And to the pumpkin patch we go!

Nate had a tough time selecting a pumpkin...he got frustrated a few times. I think he didn't know what he was looking for.... here's a picture of the boys wandering - you can see how it might be overwhelming for a 3 year old!
At one point, Nate wanted this pumpkin...until he realized he couldn't lift it! Then, a-searching we had to go....again!

On the hayride back to the festivities!
The boys loved bouncing on the "air pillow." In fact, when their turn was over...the pillow was cleared, except for Nate, who was laying down crying, begging for more time. That kid can bounce forever!


Jumping in the hay is always fun... we ended with one last jump! Nate was singing a superman song as he soared, leaping from the top again & again! Patrick loved it too!






Now for Halloween!! Nate's been practicing his trick or treating for 2 weeks now. Saturday should be fun!! Happy Halloween!
