Pumpkin Patch

Today for Alex's preschool, we went to a pumpkin patch. It's a nice, warm day today, but it was still a bit chilly this morning. I told the boys that it would be, but they still wanted to wear shorts. Yes, they complained about being cold at first, but when we got on the hay ride, they didn't notice anymore. We went on the hayride around the farm, then we went up and let them pick out their pumpkins. They had to be able to carry the pumpkins they chose, so they weren't able to pick out the really big ones, but they liked the ones they chose. Alex of course, picked a green one. He's silly sometimes. We all had fun there and they got to have an apple juice box and a bag of popcorn at the end. Unfortunately, Chris decided to choke a little on some popcorn in the van on the way home, so he threw up, but he's been happy since then. Well, except for when Alex takes things away from him.

The pumpkin patch was kind of out by Bryce's work, so we picked him up on the way home so he could have the van, since he wanted to go pick up some plans from a few places. So it was nice actually having someone else help with cleaning up after Chris' mess.

Following are some pictures from the trip as well as some pictures from the zoo when we went there for preschool a few weeks ago.
