A perfect pumpkin day...

We've had the best end of the week-  Thursday the older children had a field trip to see the symphony orchestra perform with actors  a really neat version of "Trumpet of the Swan".  Thursday night we had soccer games- then this morning they had "gym day" with our homeschool cover group where they play dodgeball, capture the flag, etc.  After gym day we surprised them by heading out to the Grand Old Pumpkin Patch with Marc and BB and Poppy.  I learned several years ago that the best time to go to this pumpkin patch is Friday after 2- the field trips have left and people are going to high school football games.  It felt like we were the only people there- as opposed to Saturday morning when everything will have long lines. 



Started out the adventures on a tractor train ride-

Then on to the reason we went there- the PONY RIDES for Sissy and Tuck!

BB spent a lot of time walking behind Charlie who toddles, toddles, toddles now- then she'd have to pick him up for snuggles-

JUMP CASTLE TIME!

Then we all hopped on the hayride out to the pumpkin patch-

 Tuck Tuck picked a wittle punkin-



Then we played in the hay bales-

We stayed and had a BBQ dinner picnic and dessert right beside a giant sandbox that the kids loved-

A perfect, happy day with those I love-
