Annual Suburban Pumpkin Patch Visit

It was time to call Emma and Aiden and head to the pumpkin patch at Suburban.  It has become a yearly tradition and the kids start asking about it when the pumpkins start appearing at the store.  This year Aiden wanted to go with everyone to lunch at Winstead's so we started the afternoon there.  After getting our bellies full we headed to Suburban.  
Becky, AC and I were discussing how we have pictures of the kids bundled in coats at the pumpkin patch some years and pictures of the kids in shorts on others.  This year was definitely one of the cold ones.  The temperature wasn't freezing but with a cold wind it got chilly really quickly.  We waited for the army truck and headed back to the patch.  This year they added some decorated hay bails that the kids loved!  They all took some time picking out the perfect pumpkin then we headed back towards the store.  The driver of the army truck took them a little off road on the way back and you should have heard the kids giggling.  

After the return some of us shopped for mums while the kids played on all of the play equipment.  Then it was back inside to warm up, eat some popcorn, and get faces/arms painted.  They had a good time playing and managed to talk AC and Al into letting them all play a few more hours at their house.  I would say it was another successful trip to the pumpkin patch.
