Pumpkins, Festivals, and Fall Fun

Recently we went with friends from MOPS to a nearby farm for the morning to enjoy the sunshine on a hayride, visit a pumpkin patch, and more!

Noah was excited about the "tractor ride" as he called it.



Although it is currently Fall, it felt that day more like Summer due to the strong sunshine!

Noah tests the pumpkins to see how heavy they are. This one, mom?


Maybe I can pick up this one??


This little one is just right!


It's fun playing in the pumpkin patch! Maybe we can pick out a Christmas tree here too?


Isaac and Ian rest in their strollers while their Moms are busy with big brothers.


What is better to drive than a tractor that has already been driven into the ground? I couldn't peel Noah off this thing for quite some time!


Mom, I'm driving!!


Playing on stacks of hay bales with other preschoolers. Noah enjoyed climbing to the top.


Check out this pumpkin tree! Someone put a LOT of time into this!


Last Saturday we went to the Fall Festival at the hospital where Isaac was born. There were fire trucks, ambulances, LifeLine helicopters, and so much more. Here's a helicopter that we toured.

There was quite a line to get inside the helicopter.


Noah's turn to check out the inside of the helicopter. This is right before he refused to get out and made me climb in there after him and chase him to the back of the helicopter! The paramedic was chuckling the whole time. (Thanks, Paramedic. When you have kids, see if you're still laughing!)


The Fall Festival also had a variety of animals, including Noah's favorite, the llamas!


Checking out a rabbit. Noah was reprimanded by the owner for poking the rabbit's eyes. Nice job, Noah.


It's getting closer to Noah's naptime...can you tell??


Finally, he just fell asleep in his stroller as we were leaving.


The church where I attend MOPS has a Fall Festival every year also, and we enjoy going to taste the chili and let Noah jump through the bouncey houses.



Grandpa Gary showed up somehow too!
