Fall Fun and the Pumpkin Patch

Week 73:  Another fun week ahead...Mary Virginia started some swim lesson refresher classes.  We wanted to make sure she had a lesson right before the season ended, so hopefully she won't forget over the winter!  She loved her lessons and her instructor! 
John Bay and I had lots of downtime while MV was swimming.  We tried running around the track, reading, and playing games, but the best and by far the most fun was playing in the park!
JB had a Fall Fun Day at school.  His school doesn't celebrate Halloween, so they do a fall celebration instead.  The classes dressed up like farmers and scarecrows.  They all looked so cute for the celebration!
For Ed's birthday, the kids went to Kid's Night Out at church and Ed & I went out to dinner with some friends.  We went to one of our favorite restaurants, Chimes East.  It was a wonderful night out with friends to celebrate such an amazing man!  Happy Birthday, Ed!  We held off on the celebration with the kids until Saturday.  They made him cupcakes and we had a yummy dinner!  The kids love to surprise their daddy!
On Saturday, the Girl Scouts went to Ms. Heather's Pumpkin Patch.  We let the whole family come with us.  Everyone had so much fun! 
We started the day with face painting.
John Bay played on the horse swings while the girls went on a quick hike!
Then it was off to the corn maze.  The girls had more fun on top of the maze than in the maze!
They also had a zip line for the kids.  I think this was where the kids had the most fun!

The bouncy horses were fun too!
Now it was time to pick out pumpkins.  The girls had to pick the perfect pumpkin - checking the size, weight, color, and anything else you can imagine. John Bay decided to pick the first one that he came to!
Looks like the perfect pumpkin to me...
