Pumpkin Patch Time

I'll admit it, I LOVE taking our kids to fun places like the pumpkin patch.  We have been so busy lately with soccer games, visiting family and errands to run that we haven't made it there yet.  But today we fixed that, and took our little crew to Barn-n-Bunk.


There was so much fun stuff to do!  Carter's favorite was a little hay maze that ended with a slide into more hay.  It was pretty humorous to watch Mike crawling around on his hands and knees through the hay, with the flashlight app on his iphone lighting the way!  He didn't want Ava to get scared in the dark, what a sweet daddy.


This little girl loves to jump!  So I was not suprised at all that her favorite was the bouncy house (good thing we remembered socks this year!)

Although I don't have any pictures of it, Dawson's favorite was the hay ride.  I'm calling it a hay ride, but really it was a wagon ride pulled by horses.  Dawson refused to sit on my lap, and he wiggled and squirmed until he was standing up on the seat at the rails edge.  He loved watching the world go by, with his hair blowing in the breeze (WIND!) and waving to the passing cars, trees and pumpkins. 



But there were also train rides



and shoulder rides for the littlest one.


Playing in the hay is always fun



Playing in the buggy

(Funny story:  Carter got into the buggy and asked "How did they go to the grocery store?"  Pretty smart observation by a four year old about the lack of trunk space.)



Tractor Fun

Today was so busy, with a trip to the farmer's market, a soccer game and then after nap a trip to Barn-n-Bunk.  Then we topped it all off with a trip to Chick-fil-a.  I love that restaurant with kids, it almost feels like date night for Mike and I.  While the two big kids play in the play place we have time to talk to each other and moon over our littlest.  What a great day!
