Preschool at the pumpkin patch

today was olive's first field trip with her preschool class, and she was so so excited!! she kept telling me she wanted to walk by her teachers and that she did! i kinda felt like she was embarassed of me! :/ (i know that was not the case)

we went to Black Island Farms pumpkin patch in syracuse, this was our first time and we were really impressed! it's huge!!! i loooovvved that everyone got to pick out their own pumpkins on the tractor ride + olive thought it was cool that they came around and cut the pumpkin off the vines! she ran around like crazy and still didn't take a nap this afternoon! come on girlfriend! Black Island Farms was definitely a favorite- we will have to bring scotti girl next year!

 (not even wanting to sit by her momma ;()

Pumpkin Patch Part 1

i think i am having a hard time deciding what my favorite season is, i love summer for so many reasons but i think fall is definitely my number one!! the temperature is perfect, the changing leaves are breath taking and we make so many memories with all the fall activities!

we have a pumpkin patch right down the street from our house called Packs Farm, it is super cute + has slides and activities for the kids.  there is a gift shop and their pumpkin patch is beautiful as all the pumpkins are laid out on the green grass! my mom and i took my two girls and my niece a week ago and they were all in heaven. in fact, they were crying when it was time to go!

another one we love that we went to last year a couple times is Cross E Ranch, in North Salt Lake.  Dave actually does all their banners for them, so we get in free! i love this one!!! they have all their farm animals that the kids love to see, a fun hay ride where you learn about the history of their farm,  food + they had slides this year and of course the famous corn pit! last year, they had a hay maze- which they also had a mini hay maze for the kids, but his year they had a huge corn maze that we need to try next time we go!! They are so friendly at Cross E Ranch and we love it there.  we will be going back for years to come!!
