Pumpkins and Ponies

Seems like most of the time we are desperately searching for something to do with the kids, but Sunday we almost had too much to do. We started off going to church, then followed up with lunch at Chili's with MaMaw and PaPaw. Then we had to decide; go to their schools Annual Fall Festival or go to the Pumpkin Patch (where we go every year and love). We did both and had a ball!!! At the festival, the kids went down a HUGE blowup slide modeled after the Titanic (see last picture and blow up to see close up of kids). I never thought they'd have the nerve and the only thing that gave me any comfort was there was someone at the top to help them. They got to jump in bouncer and ride ponies. Truly a good time. We left there about 4:30 and headed over to the Pumpkin Patch where I went picture crazy. It's one of my favorite spots to shoot pics. We played in the pumpkins, fed a goat, and road on the hayride. Perfect weather and perfect day. We finished up about 6:30 with 4 little pumpkins for carving in hand and went to Denny's for dinner. While there Teacup the lady clown came in. This was the 1st time the kids had seen a clown. Cody and Addison were facing the clown and Cody being a baby didn't give her a second glance, but Addison stared at her throughout dinner with a frown on her face. She wasn't too sure about that clown. At the end of the day we once again gave thanks for our many blessings and put them each to bed... exhausted. (Click on smaller photos to enlarge)
