We took the boys to the Pumpkin Patch with Ryan and Rebekah and their kids this afternoon. There was a petting zoo, giant haystack to climb up, 7 or 8 bounce houses & obstacle courses, a huge Saber Tooth Tiger slide, John Deer bumper tractors for the little ones (this was sooo cute),and even a tiny monkey that would shake your hand for $1.
All the cousins together
(L-R)Jacob,Vaughn,Ella,Caleb,Marley,Chloe

Jacob kept trying to climb the haystack, but didn't get very far.
Caleb,Ella and Vaughn spent most of the time in this Spider Man bounce house. It was well worth the $4 or $5 we spent to let each of them go in. There wasn't a time limit so they took advantage and had so much fun!
Caleb was brave and tried out the huge Saber Tooth Tiger slide. I wish I got a picture of him his first time down...he was pretty scared and the face he was making was hilarious, but he just followed Marley back up and down and ended up loving it.
While Caleb rode the slide Jacob wandered through the Christmas trees...the Christmas tree lot opens November 21st and you get to come and cut down your own tree.
They had wheelbarrows and these hand made wagons to pull out into the pumpkin patch to pick your own pumpkins and just as we were heading out to pick some, the kids decided they would take advantage of the situation and hitch a ride instead of walking. The two oldest jumped in first and of course all the little ones followed their lead.
We all went for a hay ride and this is a picture of a very small portion of this pumpkin patch. Those are people in the field picking their own pumpkins. They were so far away...it seemed like there was no end to the patch.
The boys were so tired they barely finished their IN-N-OUT cheeseburgers before crashing.
This was definitely our favorite Pumpkin Patch experience, and we'll be back there again next year!
