Fall Activities Galore

My last post was a fall activity and this post is a fall activity. Sorry! But it's so fun having all these things to do as the seasons are changing. We were looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch this weekend, especially because the forecast said it would be in the 60's!! Finally, a crisp day! I dressed up in fall attire (boots) and was so excited. We arrived at the pumpkin patch and the longer we were there, the warmer it got. Luckily, it wasn't as hot as last weekend, but still...BRING THE FALL WEATHER!!
We met up with the Nyborg's and also a new couple that has moved into the area Josh knew from Raleigh. We let the kids play around the fire truck, wheeled them around in a wagon, played in the sandbox, ate some more donuts (not as good as Sky Top) and took a hay ride! We are actually going back to the same place on Tuesday for play group, but we wanted to scout it out and take our husbands. It was a lot of fun!! I'm looking forward to Tuesday and actually leaving with a pumpkin!

Afterward, we went to lunch at Red Robin (both Nels and Josh had their birthday burgers to redeem). We had just received a gift card from PwC also. It was great! The kids were really good during lunch as well. By the end, everyone was tired and we were ready to go home and crash (which our family did).
The rest of the weekend was The LDS General conference. It was rough with Charlotte. I know I only have ONE child, but I don't think it matters. Toddlers don't like listening/watching to church on TV. We will have to watch the recorded conference or re-read it in the Ensign. We got a little in, so that's good. Yeah, we aren't perfect :)

Today we went back to the same pumpkin patch with our friends! There was hardly anyone there...just a bunch of moms and little kids! Charlotte wore her Halloween shirt and I attempted some festive pictures, but you know her, she doesn't like to cooperate!
