Bring on the Fall!













On Saturday we had the chance to visit the Colorado Pumpkin Patch in Monument and it was aweseome! Not only did God bless us with incredible weather, but there were SO many activities for the kids to enjoy- and you only had to pay for kids over the age of 2! Adults and the little ones were free (which is a word everyone appreciates!)
Ashley got a chance to spend time with her three cousins and a couple of really close friends-
which we will just have to tell her about later because the little stinker slept through the whole thing!!









Here are the kiddos at the goat petting zoo and the corn sandbox- yep, it was filled with real corn kernels!










Matt took Ashley for a 'ride' on one of the huge tractors and the kids spent some time running through (or on top of) the hay maze.

And of course, here is little miss Ashley with her very first pumpkin - now we just have to figure out how we want to carve it!




Towards the end of the day we all stood in line so that we could go on a tractor ride-not quite a thrill seeker,
but the kids had a good time :)


The last stop was the hay slide, which went surprisingly fast! Ashley will just have wait and try this one next year-
but her cousins had a great time!

We would definitely reccommend this activity to anyone willing to make the drive down to Monument!
It is the perfect way to celebrate
fall!

Pumpkins patches are so much fun! We went to the Chatfield one. Little Ash looks so cute next to her pumpkin!

The good news is she doesn't need to be awake for you to take cute pictures of her! I want to hold her soon. Call me!
