Pumpkin Patch

This is well past due but finally...

This year we went to the Pumpkin Patch during the week, Oct. 17 a Thursday and I would say as a whole it was less crowded even though Omaha schools did not have school.  We were unsure how the crowd would be and how the weather would be.  The weather was ok until the sun went downthen it started to get pretty cold.  The week before the boys were not feeling well but felt pretty good the day of.  Ella on the other hand still wasn't feeling well, poor thing!  Something new they did and surprised Jared and us is they road the ponies.  When we go home the boys LOVE the animals but from a distance, they don't like to get up and pet them and be too close for the most part.  At the farm Levi has a miniature horse and anytime we try and put the boys on it they want no party of it.  But today at the patch they wanted to ride the horses so we did and they loved it until....Landon's horse sneezed and shook and scared him, he wanted off.  The good news is he got back on it so that was good.  We did the normal stuff jumpy pillows, play groud area, tractor rides, etc.  Something new was we took a hayrack ride out to the field to the pumpkins, even though we knew we were not picking out pumpkins.  The boys love tractors and such so we thought the ride out there would be fun and it was but it was really cold and windy.  After that we went down the slides with the potatoe sacks under us and the LOVED it I mean LOVED it they wanted to do that all day and we could of but was getting dark and colder and we had more to do.  All in all the trip was good, boys had a great time. 

Tristan was wavinghere but looks like he is on a bucking bull and trying to hang on for 7 seconds.

Landon's face is priceless!
