Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we braved the cold and windy weather and hit the pumpkin patch.  The kids had a blast and to our surprise, two of our good friends and kids happened to be there too!  The kids enjoyed playing in a corn box, running through a maize, sliding down the slides in the barn, taking a tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch, and spending time with family and friends.  It was a perfect Fall day!

Enjoying a little more playtime before heading home

 

And to end the day, Kenzie delivered our "boo" bags around the neighborhood.  (It's a fun pre-Halloween activity where you deliver fall goodies to an unsuspecting neighbors front porch.  The best part of course is delivering it in the dark of the night, ringing the doorbell and running before they answer the door). 

Festivals, Fairs and Fall Fun!

I am a little behind on my blogging, so I am going to combine a few Fall entries into one! On top of being back to work fulltime and being sick 2 weekends in a row, this poor blog has been a bit neglected.  One of these days, I will figure out this whole fulltime working Mom thing and be back to my consistent blogging.  Until then, you may just have to settle for hogde-podge entries!

Back in September, my Dad and I took Mackenzie to our annual trip to the Shekinah Festival, in Plain City. She has gone 3 years in a row with my parents and their good friends, Bill and Sue, and grandson, Brayden.  She looks forward to it every year.  From horseback riding, arts and crafts, tractor rides, a petting zoo and homemade icecream, there is something for everyone.

This past weekend, I stayed home miserable with congestion and a sore throat, Jeremy took the kids up to Loudonville for the Street Festival and cousin Ella's 9th bday!  The weather was perfect, and the kids had a fabulous time riding rides, eating fair food, having a family sleepover, and being together.  Caleb and Owen even got to ride a few rides for the first time. They were BIG fans of the fair, and can't wait until next year when they can do even more!

after a night of fun, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's for a sleepover!

and scrambled eggs and sausage for breakfast....Grandma's the best!

...and then it was off to cousin Ella's birthday party.  9 years old...how is that possible?  I still remember Jeremy and I had just started dating when we got the call that Ella was born! 

Happy Bday, sweet Ella! 

 It's been a fabulous few weeks, full of fun family memories!  Next up, picking pumpkins and Halloween!  :)
I love Fall!
