Pumpkin Patch Fun

On Sunday we made the trek to the big pumpkin patch! We have loved going to Hillridge Farms and were looking forward to going again this year.  On Saturday it was sunny and HOT...so when we woke up to drizzly and cold, it really felt like fall!

It takes close to 45 minutes to get to the farm, and the boys were getting antsy in the car so we took some selfies together:

When we got there, the misting was a little heavier, but it wasn't going to stop our fun! 

It was way too chilly for the boys to be in shorts, but seriously, it didn't bother them one bit! They would wear shorts year round I think.  

We immediately went to the giant slide because there wasn't much of a line.  I figured Andy would freak out, but as we got to the top, he turned around and said "I really want to go first, okay?" and he did! He loved it and wanted to go again and again and again!

Waiting with my boys...

Eddie went down the slide too- the boys didn't want to ride with us so we each rode separately-- kind of funny to see parents riding down solo- haha

Andy looked so little at the top of the slide! Ignore the sign saying they must be 4 to ride without an adult...

Sweet Tommy came with us...not that we gave him a choice! HA! And the boys had so much fun with him.  What a good sport!

We had to take pics in front of the measuring pumpkin....can't remember if we did this last year (what kind of a mom am I??).  I will go back and look at last year's post.

And of course we rode the train! Brad rode with us, but I didn't get a good non-blurry picture of all three boys.  

After the train, the rain started falling a bit heavier.  The boys were dying to jump on the big bounce pillow.  We let them, even though the sign said "no jumping when wet. It is not safe." They jumped for a few minutes and were over it.  The rain was falling and we were getting cold.

We left after the bounce pillow-- Andy wasn't thrilled with the idea of leaving, but the screaming didn't last for long....! The boys were soaked so they rode home without shorts on.  As soon as we got home, Cal got comfy and snuggled up on the couch with Tommy to watch some football. 

 It was a perfect fall weekend!!!

Here is the post from last year's trip.  It was a beautiful day when we went last year! Nothing like this year! But still equally fun!
