Well, with the feel of fall in the air (and happily not the feeling of winter just yet) the kids and I decided to make the most of a sunny Saturday and visit the Pumpkin Patch about 30 mins west of Brandon. We managed to get there early and avoid a lot of the annoying crowds, so we all had a great time. There were a lot of things for the kids to do, and we brought home two great pumpkins to turn into our spooky jack o'lanterns for MUCH less than we would have paid at the grocery store! You can check out some of the picture highlights if you'd like! Now, the question is, what do I do to keep them occupied today so that I can get the house cleaned up, unit planning finished for tomorrow and start their Hallowe'en costumes? Suggestions are always welcome! :o)
Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch!

Zip Lining - ready for take off...
Claire screamed the whole way...then went again!
Never in a million years did I think Alex would do this, let alone TWICE!
