Had a great day...

**Sara Noel** · 10-11-2003, 08:26 PM

We went to get pumpkins today and had a great day. This place had so many fun things for Zachary's age range. We selected our pumpkins, saw animals like bunnies, peacocks, goats etc. Then they had those inflatable haunted houses and pumpkins that the kids can jump in and walk through.
They had pony rides and I was shocked that Zachary actually rode one.
They had a neat pyramid made out of haystacks.
Then we took the kids for ice cream and did a mini celebration at home.

Here's a couple of pics of Zachary.

Sara, what a wonderful time you must have had. Isn't fall great?

We too went to the park and threw leaves at each other and just had fun with the kids. It was a little cool though, so didn't get to stay long, but it was nice to see the geese and just overall have fun.

How many pumpkins did you get?

We got five. lol Two huge pumpkins and 3 smaller ones.

I want to be able to paint the smaller ones with Zachary and carve the larger ones.

Sigh... Thanks for sharing Sara. Seems like yesterday my kids were that young.
We have a Punkin Patch near us that gives hay rides, has a petting zoo,maze,apple cider, apple cider donuts, the whole works, just down the road.
Fall is the best!

Sara,

how cool.. We are going to go do AJ's pumpkin picking tomorrow... I wanted to wait for Josh to be able to go with us....

Are you guys going to carve your pumpkin or just let Zach draw on it?

Sara, looks like you really had a beautiful day with your family! The pictures of Zachary are adorable! He seems like he was a proud little boy!

Thanks for sharing your day with us.

Last year we did the petting farm, hayride, pumpkin patch so did this place this year.

I love fall fun.

Phae, We'll be letting Zachary paint the smaller ones and then we'll carve the larger ones. I always say I am going to do pumpkin seeds and never do. Maybe this year. lol

I'm not sure what we were thinking when we had this full day and then brought out the drums and maracas after dinner. rofl Zachary had way too many sweets. (candied apple, ice cream etc) ugh. Let's just say he didn't want to go to bed until 9 and wanted to sleep with his drum. lol

Now us grown ups are heading to light a fire and watch some movies.

(I think I might bring the maracas) roflmao. When a good action part starts coming...I'll break out the maracas and get Gabe good. hehe

Im glad to hear that you guys had such a great day. Take it from a mom who has her babies growing up and leaving the nest...it all happens very fast, you just realize one day that they are not little and entertained by all those fun things anymore.

Your pictures are priceless. Glad you had a great day, you deserve it, after all you are royalty you know!
