pumpkin patch fun


We are lucky enough to have a pumpkin patch in our neighborhood backyard and this sweet girl had a birthday party there one fall weekend.
Rylee is Kerigan's friend from tumbling and Hayden is another friend we've been lucky enough to get to know this year.
Party kids!
We took a fun hayride!  Rylee's mama and my friend Heather invited Andrew to join so her son Ben would have a buddy to play with!  They look like they are plotting something, don't they?  Ha!
This little pumpkin patch is just the perfect size with lots of fun for the kids!
They added a zipline this year and it was the hit of the day
Along with duck races- I swear my kids would spend all day doing this!
They also added a jumping pillow!
Our neighbors met us after the party and these two had more fun!

See those houses back there?  That's our 'hood and we love it!

Then the next weekend we went to our all time favorite pumpkin patch that is closer to my hometown.  I have a picture of the kids by this sign every year since Andrew was a baby.
This year we went on grandparents weekend so Ga Ga met us!
These two always want to head straight to the corn pool first
They have so much fun in here!  And I try not to think about what happens in here when it gets dark... #mice.  My husband, who grew up on a farm, always reminds me (insert eye rolling emoji here).
Planning their next jump
My sweet ten year old
Look at the corn she collected!
The jumping pillow is usually the next stop
They have a huge one for the bigger kids and a smaller one too.
Andrew usually goes on the big one for a while but then joins Kerigan on the smaller one!


They always enjoy roping a steer!

Having fun tossing apples!
They added this obstacle course also, and I had to laugh when...
I glance over and Daddy is doing it too!  Ha!  I guess they were racing!
Thumbs down when you aren't tall enough to drive yourself on the tractors!  But she's still smiling!
Because she got to ride with Daddy!
Then we figured out it was just so their legs could reach, and hers almost did so she attempted a ride by herself!
hoppy horses!
Yes she did make it! #barely
Got through the maze!
They always love the giant slide!
It actually goes pretty fast!
They like to have a race! 
Next we headed down to where they have all the animals.  Kerigan got really into Little House on the Prairie books this year and so she was excited to see this sign!
And they love torturing Ga Ga with the chickens!  Ha! #bestpicoftheday
They have all kinds of storybook characters- Andrew likes being the troll!
Alice!
Humpty is new this year!
We love all the nursery rhyme themes!
What can I say?  There's fun for adults too!  Ha!
Then she loved this because it reminded her of the Little House books- she wanted a picture to send to her teacher to show her class!
The one room school house!
Being the teacher
She just loved this school and sitting at all the desks.
We found the pumpkin princess on the way out!
And we never leave without carmel apples and cider donuts!  Give us all the fall food!  Kerigan loved the emoji apples!
It was a beautiful fall day!
Until next year!
