Pumpkin Patch

Well, it is that wonderful time of year again. We love fall around our house. So many fun things to do outside and lots of football! There is a local Pumkin Patch here that is great and that our kids loved last year. Jake had off work on Monday, so we made it a family day at the Patch and had a wonderful time. We were there for about 4 hours and stayed until none of them could walk anymore. It is very hard to get any of our children to ride in a stroller or wagon, but by the end of the day we couldn't get any of them to walk! They had a blast and have been begging to go back. Here are some pictures from the day.

Hayride into the pumpkin patch. Jacob wanted to walk with me.

Maddie by some beautiful red flowers.

They were digging in the nice land scaping for bugs.

Jacob loved running up and down this wooden bridge.

Caden pointing out some birds to daddy.

Maddie caught a dragon fly and carried it around all day...eventually it couldn't fly anymore so she could just set it down in the wagon.

Checking out the horse.

Caden's first time seeing a live horse...he loved it and was very excited!

Caden followed this turkey around for at least 30 minutes.

Tractor ride. Caden loved getting to ride with his brother and sister.

They are all in the front car having a blast riding around with the tractor.

Caden was yelling "bye" because he wanted to ride again.

The walk back to the van...none of them could walk anymore because they were so worn out.
