Pumpkin Patch with the Grindey's

Make a Smilebox scrapbook Saturday was my birthday so we decided to go to the pumpkin patch with our friends the Grindey's. The patch was almost an hour away. We have never heard of it until recently and thought it would be fun to start a new tradition to go out and let the kids pick out their own pumpkins. There was so much to do there. We spent over 3 hours there and could of easily spent another hour. The most popular thing was the hale bale pyramid and maze. The kids spent most of their time on that. They had some animals (wilbur the baby pig was a hit), a zip line, corn maze, train ride, duck races, hay bale ride where we got to feed the horses, and the spook barn. The spook barn didn't go over very well. We sent all the kids in with Uncle Kevin....Ben came out wrapped around Kevin's leg and Emma was crying and Kevin was laughing. Guess we won't try that one next year! So the kids picked out their pumpkins and then we headed to Rivers for their famous chinese food. We crashed mom and dad's so we didn't have to sit in the samll restaurant with 5 kids (thanks mom and dad). We got home late but we had such a fun day and feel very lucky to have such great friends to spend it with!!
