Fun, Fun, Fun

An exciting weekend it was indeed. We started off Friday morning with Tristen's first school field trip, I felt very lucky to be able to enjoy this with her. So, Friday morning eight a.m. the three of us pack up to begin our day. We met with Tristen's teacher at the school where she rode the bus to our destination and we drove.... Sean and I were not so brave as to ride with the 40 excited, screaming, and jumping children. Kathy's Pumpkin Patch sets down by Donnelson so the drive was not too bad at all.

This is the entrance to Kathy's Pumpkin Patch... there were pumpkins all around... very festive like:)




When we arrived they lead the children to the inside of a barn like structure to inform them of their day.



Next we went to the play area. There were lots of toys to play on and even a corn pit.






Here is my personal favorite picture of our day. Tristen is burying one of her friends in the corn:)
After playtime the children went on a wagon ride. The wagon ride took us around the perimeter of the pumpkin patch and lead us to the soybeans maze.





Tristen was very good at the maze and helped me find my way out:) Our next stop was to pick out our pumpkins.. there were lots to choose from and Tristen picked out two lovely pumpkins.. one for her and one for her sister. We shortly thereafter hit the picnic tables for our snack and then back to the play area for one last time on the slide before the field trip day was over.
Saturday Chloe and I went to bingo at the community center. It was a fundraiser for the firemen and we had lots of fun. Chloe won on the second game, for her prize she chose a light stick (to use for Halloween) and some pencils. I didn't win.. go figure lol.. but we did have a great time.
On Sunday we paid a final visit to our little secret park out in the country for a cook out before winter begins. Sean made his famous hot dogs and chips. The girls ran wild playing on all the toys and were pretty tuckered once we got home. We had planned on carving our pumpkins that we got from the pumpkin patch but, the lil ones pasted out, so we are going to save that for this weekend.
We rented a few movies this weekend. "The Reaping" and "1408" were okay.. nothing to brag about but they were alright flicks. We also rented "Transformers", we all loved this movie and give it a 10.
