Another sign of Fall is our annual trip to Tweite's Pumpkin Patch. My mom and I took the kids while Nathan was in Russia. Again, it was a beautiful day and it even got a little warm, so the kids didn't need to wear jackets and were sweating. It was a wonderfully fun trip, as it always is.
Oh, my handsome Andy! Those blue eyes get me every time!
This slide was Michael's favorite because he'd go really fast and then biff it in the sand!

When we've gone in past years, we've never taken time to feed the animals. Thanks to Grandma Bice who supplied the many quarters, the kids got to feed goats, bunnies, and chickens. They have these cool pipe things set up so all you have to do is drop the corn into the pipes and it goes to the animals. The chickens seemed especially hungry, so we spent most of our time with them. The kids really enjoyed doing this, thanks Grandma Bice!
Next to feeding the chickens, this was the other highlight of our trip. The pumpkin patch has these rubber ducks you can buy for $1.00 and then the kids can race them down this homemade water track as many times and they want. Michael absolutely loved it! He soaked himself from chin to knees. In fact he carried around his "bath duck" for days afterwards and eventually lost it.

Every wooden stand or photo opportunity that we passed, Haley had to stop and get her picture taken. We have several shots of her, but I only chose a few.
The pumpkin patch has several sandboxes spread throughout, some are big and some are small. We had to tear Michael away from this huge sandbox because we had more to see before it closed. He LOVED the sandboxes! At one point he was doing "sand angels" in the sand!
These black slides are always a favorite. The pumpkin patch has these slides at several places in the patch. The family who owns it made these slides out of some big black tubes. These slides are very fast and the kids always enjoy them!
