It wasn't a pretty sight. We were alllll ready for some fun and more importantly, FRESH AIR!!! So with Eva back to her ol' self and Jaden fever free for 24 hours we decided to venture over to the Pumpkin Patch.
Going to the Pumpkin Patch is one of my favorite things to do with my little ones. It's just soooo incredibly fun to spend a few hours outdoors doing all the fun things the Pumpkin Patch has to offer. This particular Pumpkin Patch is near and dear to my heart because my cousin and his family own it....and in my opinion nothing beats it!!! 
We meandered through a corn maze, "mined" for jewels (Eva loves this), and fed goats, turkeys (interesting), and deer! I've never been as close to a deer as we were that day so that was pretty amazing. Jaden was in awe, and his little gentle spirit just sat there patiently until the deer felt comfortable enough to walk up to him. Only then did Jaden gently put his hand out and the deer ate right out of it! So cool! I should have included a picture of it - sorry! We also rode horses. Eva was excited because we let her ride alone this year, and Jaden rode with me. Thanks to our Amish friends, both of my children have a sincere love for horses and normally feel completely at ease around them.
Last, but not least, we picked out our pumpkins! We searched and searched until both Eva and Jaden found the perfect one! That night we carved our special creations....
"October gave a party.
The leaves by hundreds came-
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
and leaves of every name.
The sunshine spread a carpet,
and everything was grand.
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band."
--George Cooper "October's Party"

Glad you got out! I'm sure it was nice to get some fresh air. Love the pumpkins you guys carved!
And, where are all the other pumpkins from Grandma F's trip to the Smoker Pumpkin Patch! I think we picked out nearly 15 pumpkins that day between 4 grandchildren. Of course, many of them were small ones and designated for teacher, mommies or daddies!!!
Love the pix and sounds like a fun time! I miss going to the p. patch with my kids - they're just too old now! :)
