fall fun

I love fall.  I love the weather, the harvest, football, apples and pumpkins, fun adventures when it isn't blazing hot... or frigid cold.  We explored a petting zoo and family center on a beautiful Sunday afternoon with the Vander Wilts, Andersons, Berans and Tripps.

Jonah and Lucas.

Miniature horses and a zebra!

Hannah was interested to feed the donkey but didn't want to get too close. 

Riding the teeter-totter with Ellie.

The kids could have done these duck races for hours! 

Genius idea of pumping water to "push" the ducks, the water recycles in a big tank.

 

sooooo big!

 

The soybean maze was pretty easy.

The kids loved being able to see over the beans.

 

And Hannah... well, Hannah is consumed in a bean field by all of the little beans that have fallen out of the pods.  She feels the necessity to pick them up. All of them.  She did this in Papa Steve's bean field, too.  Hand fulls!

 

The corn maze was more difficult and we *may* have chosen an early exit. 

Shh! Don't tell the kids.

They were happy to exit!  Hugs for Garrett, Lucy, Jonah and Lucas.

 

 

 

 

Climbing in the hay castle.

 

Woohoo!

 A group of mom friends took all of our kiddos to another pumpkin patch close by. 

Some of the same, some different - still lots of fun!
