Poppel Farms 2016

We took another trip to Poppell Farms this year! Last year when we went Zeke was a little baby, so this year was even more fun! 

They loved the duck run just as much this year.

I think Zeke's favorite part was the animals. They had rabbits, goats, sheep, mules, chickens, and pigs.

Sweeties!!!

Cow train:

Our group this year:

We took a hay ride out to a field where they set out a bunch of pumpkins. Each kid got to choose a pumpkin to take home.

Love my 4!

We had a picnic lunch, then spent a couple of hours playing on the slides, jumpers, corn bins, etc.

This was Bo's favorite, by far!

Zeke loved the little playhouse.

We had so much fun and a nice quiet drive home while the little ones napped. Mae was ready to pose with her little pumpkin when we got home. :)

We had a great trip to Poppell Farms! 

Mae's Field Trip--Pumpkin Patch

We have been going to Red Brick Farms with the pre-school for 5 years now. It was Mae's turn this year and she was really excited!

Arabelle and Bo spent a few hours with Jared while Mae, Zeke, and I went to the pumpkin patch.

She loved all the pumpkins on display.

All my kids have loved sitting in the little tractors. Then they get disappointed when they won't GO!

Her little class. She's peeking through the blonde headed hole...

Her favorite was the corn bin.

 And the snack. :)

Zeke slept in the baby carrier and woke up for a picture too.

She also played on the playset (and had a pee accident too....oops!) and we went on the longest hayride in history. ;)

Because I'm a sucker for comparison pictures, here is Arabelle at 2 years 1 mo and Mae at 2 years 5 mo.

And Bo at 2 years 2 mo and Mae at 2 years 5 mo.

Poppell Farms Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

On Tuesday, we had our field trip to the pumpkin patch. We went to Poppell Farms in Odom. It was our first time out there and was really happy with all the activities for the kids!

The kids were soooo excited that Leigh Leigh came with us! Mama was excited to have extra hands and eyes. ;)

The kids loved the duck run...lots of little rubber ducks and water to pump to send them down the 'slide'.

Zeke was a little uncertain of the activities.

Feeding the fish:

They enjoyed the petting zoo.

Bo took some pictures too. Mostly a lot of me....ha! He got a cute one of Zeke though:

Hay Ride:

I thought it would be sweet to take a picture with Bo and Mae, but neither of them thought it was a good plan. I got a laugh out of this one when I got home and uploaded it.

That's better!

Mae loved picking out her little pumpkin!

Mae did NOT like Bo trying to take a picture together.

The whole group.....50+ kids!

Picnic time:

Then the playground:

This was Bo's favorite. He stayed in there for about an hour, I think. And brought home a few kernels in his pockets.

They wanted to carve their little pumpkins, so Bo drew a scary face on his.

Mae didn't want to carve hers. She was very protective. "MINE!!!!"

Bo loves his pumpkin. He put it in the swing today and took it down the slide. Ha!

The pumpkin patch is always one of my favorite Fall traditions!
