a trip [or two] to the pumpkin patch

We were able to go on two group outings at the pumpkin patch this year.  One was for our weekly playgroup with friends from our old ward and one was organized by a friend in our new ward.  It’s pretty much just your group for an entire hour in the pumpkin patch and they rotate you through the big blow-up slides, a few rides & a little petting zoo.  Nate loves not only the rides but being with his friends & cousins!

On Monday, I took my lunch break at work to run pick up Nate and take him to the pumpkin patch.  On Thursday, Kiley & I took Harrison [our friend Alex’ little boy . . Alex just got home from hospital from having Baby Henry so we took her toddler off her hands for a while] back to the pumpkin patch and lets just say it was a little crazier with Ryan and Harrison there, on our watch, but still very fun.

[After a few visits to Pump it Up, Nate is finally not scared of these big slides.  Now he LOVES them!]

We are enjoying all of the festivities that October has to offer.  Now we just need Mother Nature to catch on and give us some cooler temperatures!

All these pics reminded me of when we took Nate and Spence to the dome to ride rides, which at the time they decided to ride the choo choo over and over, and over. The pumpkin patch looked like lots of fun too! love you guys.
