October Outing
Today we headed out to a farm about an hour and a half away from home for a nice family get together. We met up with my parents, sister Brittany, her two children Sienna and Bridget (ages five and two and a half), sister Courtney, her boys Drew and Colin (ages eight and four) and her fiancee Derek. There was a hay maze that the kids loved running through and climbing all over, animals to pet, a haunted house (which we didn't do unfortunately), and we went on our first hay ride where we picked pumpkins and apples. (Okay, we didn't so much pick the apples as we did pick them out because they just had them in a wooden crate for us to take.) It was a good time, new experience and a lot of fun. I do wish it would have been cooler and felt more like fall (it was 80 degrees) to add to the theme of the festivities and keep us all from sweating but oh well. My niece Bridget really loves Matt and followed him around everywhere. When it was time to go, her mom tried to get her down from this tractor she was sitting on and Bridget started to throw a fit and told her no. Matt comes over and puts his arms out and she not only willingly goes to him but she does it with a smile on her face! Seeing them interact together really makes me look forward to the way things will be with our own little girl- minus the temper tantrums. After the farm we went out to dinner and then went shopping at the Dollar Store. I know that sounds weird but it was right next to the restaurant and I love cheap shit so thought we should at least browse and made everyone tag along. Like my husband said, this should be a yearly event for us. It's always nice to spend time with them. Even though we live in the same city, everyone has their own thing going on and we don't do things together as often as we should. I guess that's a good thing though because sometimes they drive me nuts and it makes me appreciate when we are together. It's crazy to think that we'll have an addition to the family in just a few more weeks! I am so looking forward to it all.

Looks like you had a great time!!!! You look so cute!!!
This looks just like my day on Saturday. We went to the pumpkin patch too. Although, once I got there, on the hayride, to the pumpkins with 2 kids and pregnant...I decided it probably wasn't such a great idea, haha. But we had fun.
And I love that picture of you, belly button sticking out and all. :)
Looks like fun! We hope to go to a farm this weekend. Oh and I love the Dollar Tree, my hubby thinks I am weird but find some great deals there!
How FUN!! I've never been to a pumpkin patch.. crazy right??
And you are looking SO adorable! :)
My kids LOVE the dollar store. I kind of hate it though because the toys always fall apart the same day. But I do love the cheap Halloween hat and witch nose Emry got there for her costume today.
The pumpkin patch is such a great backdrop for pictures. Looks like you all had fun.
