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!

Pumpkin Patch Time--Hooray!

One of our favorite activities to do every fall is go to Sunnyside Pumpkin Patch outside of Assaria. Layne works with the owner and he and his wife do a fantastic job of providing hours of fun for kids and adults, plus they add new activities every year. It was windy, but the sun was out, so we managed to spend several hours at the Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. Caden and Brynn both loved it, and our friends Tamara, Steve, and Isak also got to join in on the fun! There is a lot of pictures--I had to share!

Our first stop, that lasted about 20 minutes, was the friendliest baby kitten--Caden loved petting and holding it!

Caden and I checked out the animals while Brynn drank a bottle--rabbits!

Hello Mr. Goat!

One of the highlights--a giant dirt pile with slides made from recycled milk jugs--the adults had just as much fun on these as the kids!

Caden getting ready...

And he is off--he loved going down on his tummy--I bet he did the slide about 20 times!

Caden was done with pictures, so we had to take just a few more of this cute pumpkin!

Hayrack ride!

Double Trouble!

Daddy thought Brynn needed to go down as well--I don't think we even got a reaction from her!

We let Caden pick his own--here it is.

Time to load up and go home.

And there was so much more we did not even get to--good thing we can go back next year. What a fun day!
