Playdate at the pumpkin patch

Our ward had playgroup at Berry Patch Farms today. I took Anderson and Tessa while Nathan was in school. It was only a hayride that took us out to the pumpkin patch, we looked at the pumpkins and then took the hayride back. Aj had a lot of fun picking up all the little pumpkins only to put them down because he found another one and another one and another one. He also enjoyed climbing on and around the big ones. I tried to get some cute pictures of Tessa, it was a little difficult since she isn't sitting up yet. The best part was we got two free little pumpkins and two little cups of apple cider, AJ loved the cider.

Pettit Creek Farms

Last week we had cousin Kyler and Zoey while they were on Fall break. We decided to go to a pumpkin patch/corn maze. We went to Pettit Creek Farms in Cartersville with grandma Rygmyr, aunt Kristin and Atkins. When we first got there the place didn't look like much, but we when we got inside we were pleasantly surprised. There was a lot of fun to be had!

There were pig races!

Jumpy slides and bounce houses

A corn maze

camel rides!

Pony rides

AJ didn't want to ride the horse at first, but the second go round he LOVED it!

Nathan insisted on riding the donkey!

A hayride (where you could feed camels and see zebras)

And a skyjump!

It was a beautiful fall day and we all had a lot of fun. The kids all got the chance to ride the camel and the ponies and feed the goats. The corn maze we went to last year was MUCH bigger. This one was pretty small, but they had so many other things to do that it made up for being lost in corn husks all day.
We had a lot of fun with Kyler and Zoey here ( Jake was with uncle Russ at a Karate conference while aunt Bonnie was at work).

Favorite pictures

Since we got Nathans school pictures back yesterday,I decided to post a favorite picture of each of our kids. This one is my favorite of Nathan, I love his super sweet smile.

 This is one of Anderson sliding on his birthday swing set. He has so much fun playing on it!

Tessa is so adorable in this picture. It is one taken by a co-worker of Davids at our family day.

Shriners pumpkin patch

 All weekend Nathan has been asking to go to the pumpkin patch so we decided to go this morning to the Shriners pumpkin patch that we always go to. I rained all night last night, so it was a little soggy but we were still able to have fun and pick out the perfect pumpkins!

Anderson was so proud of the pumpkin he picked out. he wouldn't let anyone help him carry it.

Nathan decided that his pumpkin needed to be buckled up for safety, so it rode between them in the car.

Unfortunately, because of the wet conditions we didn't stay long, so we forgot to get a family picture with our pumpkin family. Maybe if we get a chance, we can go back before the pumpkin patch is gone.
