our EVENTFUL trip to pick pumpkins


We ventured out to the pumpkin patch that Brandon went to for his field trip. Cute patch, cute places to play, stinky petting zoo, tractor rides that make you sick to your stomach, etc. This place was HUGE!

Well not so cute for one child. Damian wanted to know where the field was to pick our pumpkins. We like to hike through dirt and mud to get our prize. You just sort of walked around in circles until Mom found the one she liked!

So mix the heat, the crowds, the 2 sodas and one cotton candy to share and you get sensory meltdowns and whining..oh and a mom who swears she will never leave the house again.

BUT..all in all it was fun for the kids and they all got a pumpkin. Plus Brandon had to grab a green and white one.


you can tell right away from the dropped head of Damian that this was going to be interesting. But do take note he did cheer up once he got his pumpkin.




Why does she look like she's 4? Slow down baby.



checkin' out the goods


This slide was the steepest tallest thing my kids had ever been on..can you tell?






my teen trying to hold in his excitement on the tractor ride


yes I made Troy climb to the top of the haystack because I would've tumbled down on all those children




and get down in that hay because I would've never got back up!





got a smile finally in the "circle of pumpkins"
So yes we will do this again and I'm looking forward to the messy mess that will happen when we gut these pumpkins. Damian won't touch it but Max will be in heaven!
