The Great Pumpkin Patch

We have been soooo busy lately that we haven't had a Saturday together as a family in over a month. So yesterday we decided, come what may, that we were going to have some family fun! :) We loved going to the apple orchard in Illinois and went often and after much searching we finally found a pumpkin patch here. It was awesome! They had train rides, gem mining, bounce houses, pony rides, a 60 foot slide (no joke), a fort, a hayride to the pumpkin field, etc....you get the idea. We ended up staying four hours and would have stayed longer if we could have. The best part (other than being together as a family) was the weather. It amazes me that in November it can still be in the mid-70's. I love that! We can enjoy the beautiful colors of fall and have none of the cold weather!

Here is the only picture we have for now. The camera battery died early on the trip so I bought a disposable one at the pumpkin farm. Will scan some of those in when I get them developed. :)
