Star Wars & the Pumpkin Patch!

(First of all… I am pretty behind on posting these days..and I thought about trying to go back to a few things we did in September but I think I’ll just move forward) :)

We had a super busy and fun Saturday. We started out the morning at the library for a special Lego Star Wars event. They had crafts, people dressed up in costume, lots of legos to play with, and the “Noise guy” to perform. I thought it was just going to be like story time but I was so wrong! The librarian told us they were expecting over 200 people! It was mostly fun for Rowan and Russ, since I spent most of it chasing Isla around while she tried to pull all the books off the shelf.

   

We went straight from there to Jubilee Farms pumpkin patch. Our third annual trip. I really love this farm. I know a lot of people talk about so many of the other farms in our area, and I would definitely love to check all of that out, but for now, Jubilee is perfect. Especially for our little ones. Plenty to do!

We were starving and so the first thing we did when we got there was grab some lunch. Every year we get these quesadillas loaded with fresh off the farm grilled veggies: beets, kale, etc.. AMAZING! Picture doesn’t do it justice. Usually Rowan is all about eating but when he saw the tractor ride, it’s all he could talk about. 

    Tractor ride out to the patch! So cute watching them just run around excitedly, playing with the pumpkins. There was quite a few falls too since there are pumpkin vines and pot holes everywhere! I was glad we all got some new boots to wear, and Isla actually did better than I thought she would, walking in them. Hard to believe that when we went last year, she was so tiny, and just slept bundled up in the ergo the entire time!

   

We were exhausted when we got home, and the kids passed right out. Andrea and Justin came over to hangout about 30 minutes after the kids went to bed. Such a fun day! Now we just have to find time to carve our pumpkin!
