Fall Fun

The weekend before Jeb was born, we went over to my mom's for our annual bonfire and hayride.

I dressed Izzy up in her Halloween outfit for the occasion. (The skirt was made by my wonderful and crafty friend, Amber. I think she needs to start her own business, don't you?) The hat belongs to Aunt Tootums.

Family pic on the hay bales: Yes, I did go on that hayride and everyone got a good laugh at my expense, but to my dismay, it did not send me into labor.

My camera batteries went dead about that time so I didn't get any more pictures, but the following Monday, we went with some family and friends to the Pumpkin Patch, and I got some good pictures there.

There were lots of animals.

Check out the gigantic gloves she borrowed from one of her friends:

I thought this was so cute: in the pigpen, there were three little houses: one made of straw, one made of sticks and one made of bricks.

There were these "Cornundrums" posted everywhere that I thought were really neat. Can you figure them out??

They had this cool little game where you had to pump water to make your duck float down to the other end.

Then we went on a hayride (yes another one that did not send me into labor.)

The hayride took us to a small corn maze that we had to walk through to get to the pumpkin patch. (They also had a HUGE one that takes like 2 hours to get through, but I was not trying to have a baby in a corn field.)

We all got to pick our own pumpkins to take home.

Then the tractor took us back to the main area.

The cow train:

The corn pit: this was great for the little kids. Isabelle would have stayed there all day.

They called this the "mine shaft". It was a giant corrugated tube buried underground and you slide down on a potato sack. Uncle Chris took her down.

This was the first time we had been to that pumpkin patch, and it was awesome. Maybe when the kids are older we can take on the corn maze. :)
