Family Night at the Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch for FHE tonight. We invited Caroline & Gary (some friends of ours) to come with us. We had a lot of fun! First we picked out some pumpkins. The boys wanted BIG ones. Craig told them if they could pick it up, they could have it.

Notice Emily's tiny little pumpkin?

Cute.

Then there's Matthew, he can barely get his arms around it. So, Adam told him he would pick it up for him & Matt could have his, then they would switch at home. I thought that was sweet of him.....See my kids aren't all bad! LOL

The kids

Then we went to see the animals. They had 3 little pigs & 3 little houses in a pen, with the houses made of straw, sticks & bricks. It was pretty cute!

They also had a sheep, a cow, & a horse. When it was time for feeding time, the animals went nuts! I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure the pigs were going to jump right out of the pen.

Next, we headed into the corn maze. The guys had a race to see who could get done first. The girls decided to follow the corn cop. Yes, they had a 'corn cop'. He walks through the maze to help lost people find their way out. Yes, we cheated, but we were there for the memories, not to see who would win, I think Gary won, but I don't think we're talking about that. I didn't want to be there all night. I was hungry. And we were going home for chili & cornbread!

We got home & had dinner & Pumpkin Cake & pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with frosting, Yum! We had so much fun with Gary & Caroline that the kids would not let go of them when it was time for them to leave! This picture was taken down low, so they look like GIANTS! LOL

We had a lot of fun! I love the Fall. The leaves changing, getting sweaters out of storage, hot chocolate, snuggling by a fire & warm comfort food. Love it all! Thanks Caroline & Gary for making memories with us!
