We took our annual trip to Hunter Farms! It's one of my favorite 'traditions' we started with our family 3 years ago...
Jackson is 'free' and didnt need a wristband to go in the hay maze and hay ride, but he felt left out since his brothers and sister got a wristband, so Kevin let Jackson wear his - here Mollie's is admiring his wristband since Jackson was very excited he got to wear one
The Kids
Kinda hard to see, but thats me and Quincy in there
Quincy laying in the straw (and yes I totally had him wear that shirt on purpose)
One of my favorites is the animals - I really love farm animals. It was feeding time and the pig was hogging the food - really, he was snorting at the other animals to get out of the troff
All the kiddos in the hay maze
Jackson thought he was pretty cool way up there
Miles found us
Taking a break
On the hay ride out to the pumpkin patches
Kevin and the 2 boys
When we got off the hay ride the kids spotted a caterpillar
Letting the caterpillar go free (I was very proud of my children, we are working on teaching them not to kill insects, well unless they are spiders in our house)
A group of people were flying an electric airplane and the kids and Kevin were very fascinated watching it fly. I thought it was a cool picture of them all blocking the sun from their eyes so they could watch the airplane
Quincy and mommy
Daddy and Jackson in the pumpkin feild
*We have a 'rule' that the kids can get any pumpkin they want, as long as they can carry it*
Jackson found his pumpkin - hes pushing the 'rule'. Kevin and I think when Jackson gets older he will find the biggest pumpkin, strain with all his might, and pick it up and carry it...
Mollie found hers
Searching for Miles' pumpkin
Now helping Jayden find his pumpkin
Ah ha, Jayden found his
(I didnt get a picure of Miles with his pumpkin (sad face) I dont know why)

On our way out of the pumpkin patch
Strangely enough, Jackson was bothered that his shoes got dirty ( we brought their super cool rubber boots, but Kevin locked our keys in the car and we didnt want to wait for the locksmith to come, so we went out into the pumpkin patch without the rubber boots
And Quincy found the most pumpkins!!
After our super fun afternoon at Hunter Farms we drove to a nearby hatcher *of course* and looked at the fish
We were STARVING so went to a quaint little hamburger joint, payed way too much money, and ate lunch - the food was really good though-
Now the second 'funest' part....

PAINTING OUR PUMPKINS!
Hard at work
Miles concentrating..
Mollie used lots of colors
Jackson, painting the stem
Mollie was singing Old MacDonald Had a Farm, very fitting I thought
And they are done! Very fun holiday tradition
