Family Time Farm Style

Casen and I had so much fun at the farm last week that this week we took Rilyn and Cody out there with us. Rilyn had a half day on Monday so it was the perfect time to go! We fed the animals,

watched the pig races (Rilyn, Cody, and Casen all had turns being cheerleaders),

played on the playground, milked a pretend cow,

did the corn maze,

rode on the tractor, and this time the kids got to jump on the big bouncy pillow with Dad.

They had so much fun. We were out there for a few hours. When it was time to go home we picked out our pumpkins, oh my what drama that turned out to be.

First we started with 2 orange ones. Then Casen decided that he wanted a white one not an orange one. Then Rilyn decided that if Casen was getting a white one she wanted a white one. Cody was trying to convince one of them to get an orange pumpkin because he felt like we needed an orange pumpkin but in the end he lost and we came home with 2 big white pumpkins. Like I said, DRAMA! Then to top of the night Casen got an apple cider donut and Rilyn got a cookie for the ride home.

The donut was AWESOME and Cody is hoping the next time I go to the farm we bring home a few extras for him. The rest of the week was pretty uneventful until Saturday. The kids and I went to Home Depot as usual with Carrie and her kids. It was fire safety day or something because there were 3 fire trucks for the kids to explore, an ambulance, and a police car.

Rilyn was the only one brave enough to get in the police car and turn on the siren. Casen hated the loud siren and wanted to be held the rest of the time we were there because of the sound. Plus they got to build their own fire trucks and Homer from Home Depot gave them candy. Then on the way home we stopped at Target and picked up some baby pumpkins so Cody could have his orange pumpkins and some window decorations. The kids were feeling kind of left out in the decoration department because my decorations are already packed and our next door neighbor is going to town on our house. It looks cute but the kids are sad that they aren't getting to do anything to decorate. Solution, window clings from the dollar bin.

They hung up their window clings and colored the baby pumpkins when we got home. Now they're feeling ready for Halloween.
