Hinton's Pumpkin Patch

The boys' school had a field trip today to Hinton's Pumpkin Patch.  http://www.hintonsorchard.com/index.asp We rode to the Pumpkin Patch with our neighbors, and very good friends, Kellee and Thatcher.  On the way there the big boys were cranky, but Kellee and I didn't care for three reasons:  1.  We had Starbucks 2. We got to sleep in 3. We had both taken the day off of work.  Um, yep, all three of those things make me happy.  Oh, and I forgot reason #4 - It was and still is a truly gorgeous fall day today!

We got to the pumpkin patch and the boys got right to playing.  I snapped this picture of Cooper and I think it might be the cutest picture of him, ever!

There were tunnels, slides, a silo with corn, tractors, tires, and all sorts of fun stuff to play in!

After the kids had time to play, then it was time to take a hay wagon ride through the farm.  Mr. Hinton told the kids about apples, peaches, and pumpkins.  We stopped a few times along the ride to see some fruits, and then finally each kid got to pick out his or her own pumpkin.  The big boys were in seventh heaven, and the little man was just happy to be out and about!

I love this smile!  He's so happy with his pumpkin!

We got back on the hay wagon and rode back to the little farm store.  The kids got to check out the apple cleaning machine, they got to sample some yummy apple cider, and then they got a little bag of apples.  The boys thought the apples looked too delicious to wait until they got home, so all three ate their apples in the store.

After the field trip was over, we took the boys to Chik-fil-a for some yummy lunch, play time for them, and time for Kellee and me to chat.  My boys are both sleeping now and I'm just happy I had the day off to play with them and enjoy their field trip!
