Preschool Field Trip - Heritage Apple Farm

This is our second field trip of the year and we got to visit the apple farm. The kids had so much fun! They had an enormous apple bounce house, hay mazes, animals, apple cider in cute pumpkin sippy cups, and their pick of fresh produce. AND, my favorite, gorgeous dahlia's! I bought the bunch that Dylan thought was best for me, then I HAD to get another one, cause Elle picked a different bunch. Bummer! :)

I had to get this shot in. The two on the right are normal sized Honey Crisps from Costco. The three on the left are the gargantuan ones from the apple farm. Wow!

My gorgeous beauties! Pictures just don't do them justice...

Carving Pumpkins

This year my sister and brother-in-law, Amanda and Keith, came over and carved pumpkins with us. The kids loved it!

While I helped hollow the kids' pumpkins, Mike took care of our big one. Now I get to carve a triple spider & web design on it. It'll take a while because it's so intricate, but I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done!

Plumper Pumpkin Patch 2010

This year we decided to try a new pumpkin patch. It was fun, but a little spendy. So, we'll try a new big one next year or continue going to one that we like that is much smaller, but still has all the stuff (and it's less expensive) as the bigger ones. The kids had a lot of fun and I had a blast snapping my camera away at them every cute chance I got. :) So, here is a glimpse of a great family time at the pumpkin patch!

I can't believe how big they're getting!

"Dylan, this is too heavy..."

"Don't worry, Elle, I got it!"

"This is perfect, it's green!"

"I got this, Dad!"

Our BEST finds of the day!
