Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!!

We decided to take our second trip to the pumpkin patch today, this time with our friends and Jack's bestest buddy Kasey as well as Auntie Katie. We got there around 10, but realized the wagon rides don't start until 11. We kept the kids somewhat entertained by looking at all the animals, playing in the pumpkins, "picking apples" and running around. Jack again enjoyed the animals, this time being a little more brave and attempting to pet them. We also wanted to go pick some apples, but apparently apple picking is over and we were left with a bucket of apples to pick from. Jack still enjoyed putting the apples in the bag and we got quite a few for me to make an apple pie with....and apple crisp....and applesauce....you get the point.

We finally got to ride on the tractor after waiting quite a while in line and poor Kasey getting stung by a bee. He was a trooper and didn't even cry when it happened. Such a tough kid =) Jack of course loved every minute of the ride except for the waiting part. The first wagon we were on was being pulled by a John Deere tractor and Jack could not take his eyes off of it. He waved to the guy who was driving as we got on and had a hard time getting off because he wouldn't stop watching it. We then went and walked around the pumpkin patch playing with some vines and falling all over the place.

It was time to head home because by this time the boys were getting a little hungry and so were the adults. We took a little detour before heading home and went to see PaPa and Mammy's new house they are building. I got some fabulous pictures...see them below.

We are now headed off to Target and then over to PaPa and Mammy's for a Spaghetti dinner. Enjoy the beautiful weather...we all know it's too good to last!
