Pumpkin Patch

We went to a nearby pumpkin patch for a little fall fun. The weather was chilly, but sunny, so it was perfect. We got the right as it opened to avoid some of the crowds. By the time we left, it was getting really busy!

One of Morgan's requirements for a pumpkin farm is a petting zoo. She loves feeding the animals. There was even a pig with new little babies.

Morgan also has to have a corn pit to play in! Both the girls love this! Even Daddy does!

There was also a barn filled with bales of hay to play on.

Then, we took a ride on the pumpkins ride.

Avery was SOOOO excited to see they had funnel cakes at the pumpkin patch!

Also a hit was the large jumping pillow... but it got a little too crowded.

More birthday weekend fun

Since the weather was gorgeous the day after the girls' birthday, we decided to go to the pumpkin patch for some fall fun.

The jumping pillow is always a hit with the kids! They had a timer here, so each group was limited in number of kids that were jumping at one time. Nice idea... less injuries!

There were lots of animals to pet and feed.

They even had a bird area similar to the zoo, so we had to check that out.

Avery was a little shocked to get a bird!

I told her to just smile normally! Ha!

They had all kinds of these set up around the pumpkin patch. The girls loved this one since they are huge Hotel Transylvania fans!

We made Daddy get in this one with them... driving around his little pumpkins!

The one thing Avery wanted to do while we were there was play in a corn pit. She talked about it the whole time before we got to this pit! She loved it!

The girls decided to bury Daddy in the corn! We were finding corn everywhere after we left!

This was the "before" shot. This is a kids' haunted house that I got tickets for the girls to go through. They didn't even make it in the door! I opened the door for them and they freaked out. Avery just turned around and walked back and said "no way". Morgan REALLY wanted to go through, but was so scared. So, she stood at the front door and cried.

Luckily, we could use her ticket to ride a horse. This is much more up her alley!

After the pumpkin patch, we stopped off at another favorite of the girls for lunch -Yard House. They even got special treats for their birthday.

Of course, Morgan couldn't resist to destroy her happy birthday message!

Later that day, Grandma Ruth came over to give the girls their birthday gifts.

A perfect 3rd birthday

On Monday, Matt and I stayed home with the girls. They were very excited that they got to stay home from school.

We started out with a trip to the grocery store. The girls loved helping us shop and filling their carts.

Then we met up with Mama, Papa and Grayson for lunch. The girls got a special treat from the waitress!

After naps, we headed to Bengston's pumpkin farm. The girls got to pet animals, ride on ponies, jump in corn boxes and pick out pumpkins. They had a great time! Of all the things they remember most about the day... is when the pony in front of Morgan peed after they finished riding them. Ha!

Morgan wanted to touch every animal

Avery was a little more cautious
