Fall Fun

    A few weeks ago the boys had a day off school so we decided to go down to the Children's Museum. During October the museum has Cobweb Castle which is a cute little spooky house exhibit for the kids to walk through.

 Even though it is not really supposed to be scary Cole was freaked out a few times-he is very brave. There was a few cut outs to pose behind, some hidden doors to discover, some mysteries to solve behind cupboard doors, and even skeletons having dinner on the ceiling.

Overall, the kids had a great time. They always love going to the children's museum. I love that they can actually just run and play and i know they are safe.

Today we went to a small pumpkin patch. The kids had so much fun petting the animals. There were goats, chicken, 2 Calves, plus a bunch of chickens running around. Bailey wasn't so sure that she was loving the animals, but we finally convinced her to feed one of the goats.

 There where lots of different games for the kids to play. Todd ran the obstacle course with the big boys. There was a combine that was converted into a slide which the boys thought was awesome.

And of course the kids favorite part of pumpkin patches- the corn maze. Cole was a little upset at first because he didn't get to pick every turn that we made. He was worried that if we really got lost we "would have to live in the maze. And the only thing to eat was yucky, dry corn." We did finally manage to make it out of the maze so no search party is required.

To end our day we went on the hay rack ride to the pumpkin field and picked our own pumpkins. Austin took the largest one he could carry while Bailey and Cole both wanted little pumpkins. I will post more pics after we paint the pumpkins. I finally gave up on getting a good picture of the kids in the field, Gage was very fascinated by the dirt so he wouldn't look up.
