This October, we took were able to visit the pumpkin patch 2 different times....I took the boys one morning with all of Parker's preschool friends and then we went again with some of our good friends, the Knox's, for FHE....we had a fabulous time at both of the visits!
The morning that we went with all our preschool friends, it was SO, SO cold...but we had loads of fun as well!
Here's a picture of most of the kids after making their way through the straw bale maze...I think they liked running through it because it helped them stay warmer! :)
I loved this picture of all the kids on top of the wagon after going for a hay ride...it was picture perfect! Aren't they a cute bunch of kids?
And, of course, one of Parks with his prized pumpkin! He spent a lot of time searching for just the right one!
When we went with Knox's, we had the chance to see all the animals in the petting zoo. Boy, was that a hit! All the kids (9 between both families) loved seeing the horses, donkey, dogs, camel, and sheep! All our kids got a kick out of being able to feed all the animals, and Parker didn't even cry very hard when one of the sheep got a little bit of his finger!
And, the final ride before heading how was a trip around the pumpkin patch in the "cow train"...Parker & Connor had been waiting the whole night for this! Annie was a great big sister to sit with Connor & keep him safe!
Thanks to the Knox's for being such great friends & sharing your FHE with us!
Here's Abbie, Annie, Parker, and Matt w/Connor right after we arrived. The kids could hardly wait to start running through the straw maze!
Abbie stoppin' to pose for the camera...I don't think this maze was too hard for her, since she made it through in about 15 seconds...LOL! She did keep asking to go into the big corn maze, though...I guess she wanted something a little more challenging!! :)
Isn't Parks handsome? He was a little unsure about the whole maze bit, but once I went through with him, he got the hang of it & had fun running between the bales of straw!!!
Parks LOVED going down the slide!! 
Here's Abbie taking her turn & having loads of fun too!
Here are the 3 (Abbie at the back, Parker & Annie closer to the front) ready to go on the cow barrel ride!
If ya can't already tell from the smile on their faces (especially Annie & Abbie), they were pretty flippin' excited to go. In fact, Parker was probably the most thrilled with it. After one of the stops (to drop people off in the fields to search for pumpkins) he turned to me and said, "I so excited, Mom!"...it was TOO cute!
Parker could hardly wait to start playing in the dirt!! The pumpkin didn't impress him nearly as much!
Abbie enjoyed the hunt too...she wanted to find the biggest pumpkin to take home!
Here's the kids w/the pumpkins they picked out to take home!!
