Sunny-Side Pumpkin Patch

Every October it is one of our favorite traditions to head to Sunny-Side Pumpkin Patch and enjoy the atmosphere there and find our pumpkins for our porch! Grant and Charisse, the owners and our friends, do an amazing job of creating a warm, friendly, and fun environment and it shows by the flocks of people that come every year to their patch--I am glad we made it out early this year as the good weather has made their pumpkin patch a very popular place! My parents were in town and headed out to see the patch with us.

Brynn is all smiles climbing the stairs to the slide.

Caden made it to the top of the playset and was very proud of himself.

Caden made friends with Grant and Charisse's youngest son and
they were trying out tetherball.

Then they moved on to miniture golf.

One of my favorite events at the Pumpkin Patch--the slides that are on a dirt pile--
they are super fast and fun for all ages--here goes Caden and Tate.

Mommy and Brynn giving the slide a whirl--she was ready to go again.

Daddy always has to be more adverturous and try something new--Brynn was not thrilled
with this new way.

So she voted to go with Grandpa the next time!

Time to find our pumpkins--Caden had been talking for weeks about making
his pumpkin into a blue monster--so Layne and I had suggested getting a white pumpkin--he did find one and about 10 others--it was hard to convince him to stick to the two we had agreed on--and even then I think he ended up with three!

Here is Caden's white pumpkin--stayed tuned for blue monster!

Grandma and Grandpa helping Brynn find hers--she picked a little one!

My parents also took our family picture in our title at the top at the pumpkin patch too--glad you could come!
Two fun-filled hours later we left, tired but happy with our pumpkins and the wonderful memories we made at SunnySide Pumpkin Patch!
