Fall Fun

                             
 
This afternoon while Michael was at church, I took the kids to a pumpkin patch in Simi Valley.  Having driven by this particular pumpkin patch several times, it just looked like something the kids would enjoy.  In the past we always made a point to go to the pumpkin patch in downtown Rockwall, and they loved every minute of it.  So when I told the kids that we were going to go to a pumpkin patch, they were thrilled!

This particular pumpkin patch has lots of things to entertain the kids - petting zoo, bounce houses, slides, rides, and pumpkins.  Carson kicked off the fun with some jumping. . .

He was a little scared of jumping too high and was not about to attempt a flip.  I kept telling him to jump like he was at Tyler's house.  That made him smile.  

Calleigh took a turn on the "tea cups". . .

 

She is fearless!  She loves the fast rides, the high rides, the daring rides.  I think I have a little risk taker on my hands.  But her smile throughout the ride is worth a million bucks!

We left with pumpkins in hand and came home to paint our pumpkins and set them on the front porch.  In many ways this was very similar to our pumpkin patch/pumpkin painting tradition we started in Rockwall several years ago.  Regardless of the geography, it is still great fall fun!
