Fabulous Fall Weekend


We are finally out of the crazy fall heat wave of 80 degrees and into my favorite time of year - 60 degrees and below.

Which meant that this was the perfect weekend to go to the pumpkin patch/petting zoo/crazy slide/jumping pillow/apple orchard/corn pool/ I could go on and on...

Marie has been asking to go to the "punkin patch" all week so she was thrilled when Saturday rolled around. We started out with the animals. Marie has no fear with animals and loved feeding the many goats, ducks, chickens, pigs, and turkeys.

She also found the nursery rhyme area with the 3 Little Pig homes. She decided to be a little piggy, too.

We tried the corn pool again, but she decided it still wasn't for her. So, we settled on a cider slush and caramel apple instead.

Next we went on the jumping pillow. I didn't know how she would react to the craziness, but she loved it. We were laughing so hard we could hardly stand up. After 3 turns on the pillow, our legs were tired...but not too tired to climb the hill to the super slide. We all went down the slide together with our arms in the air. A few high schoolers backed away because they were nervous, but not Marie!

What a great evening at the patch!
