The long day...

Last weekend, my mom and sister-in-law brought the boys to hit up a pumpkin patch. We went to Faulkner Farms. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. We didn't even get to pumpkins - there was so much for the kids to do.

Petting/feeding farm animals...

Andrew typically just throws the food in and makes them fight for it.

Finally got it right.

Little train ride around the property...

Fun horse tire swings...

Really cool water set up. You would pump the water and float the duckies down the pvc pipe to the person on the opposite side. Spent a lot of time here...

Andrew and Heath playing in the "corn box"...

Riding barrel horses...

Balloon swords!!! A man there was making balloon animals - but of course, my kids and the cousins are super into pirates, so swords it was...

Inside the teepee...

What are grandma's good for :)

We ate lunch outside the farm at a little picnic table and headed home for some quick naps. Jason and I then took the kids to Allison's fall party that was out at a ranch around 191st and Antioch. Mom came with us. It was great! Kids rode horses and we took a hay rack ride. We couldn't stay long as we had a dinner party to attend - sheesh!

Allison dressed up as Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates...

Andrew did not dress up, but he was sure cute on that horse...

Hay ride with her preschool class. Stopped to take some pictures on some big round bales.

Allison and little Caitlin...

Allison and her new "BFF" Kate. She stayed with us this week. That's another post...

Another horse shot...

Andrew and Jason. Please note the pirate sword in the pocket...

Running crazy on the trampoline...

From there, we had just enough time to run home, change our clothes, and head to a dinner party at a friend of Jason's who is in the EMBA program with him. They are a Pakistani couple who made some amazing food!! Leah had taken the kids up to the Legends to do some shopping, and my dad and brother joined my mom at the house late as they were cutting beans that morning. By the time we got home, we were absolutely exhausted! But, church the next day, let the cousins play, and some relaxing time at home that evening. Made for a great weekend!
