Lee’s Farm Pumpkin Patch and the rest of Jake and Stacey’s Visit–October 8

Shane and Jake left really early for their century ride, so Stacey and I had all morning with the kids.  They started out by playing a little Wii while Stacey and I got ready to go.  It was actually more Landon and Davis playing, while Kallie and Ethan pretended to play.

We left just after that and made an adventurous trip to Ikea with five kids.  We had a couple of things to return from our last Ikea trip on Labor Day weekend.  We escaped with only a few small mishaps, and then headed to see Jake and Stacey on their ride.
After that, we headed straight to Landon’s soccer game.  We were a little late, but he still managed to play a great game.  The kids, unfortunately, discovered the slightly wet dirt by the baseball diamond, and although they had fun and entertained themselves during the game, we had to wash all of their clothes when we got home!

Of course, in true Jake-and-Stacey-visit fashion, the day was far from over.  We headed home to let the kiddos nap, then went to the Lee’s Farms pumpkin patch.  We always love going there to see the animals, enjoy the activities, and best of all, eat the delicious pumpkin and apple spice donuts!

Here is how much we have grown since last year’s trip to the pumpkin patch.

     

The first time, Jake just sent Ethan down this slide by himself.  He came shooting out of it so fast – it was hilarious!  Jake decided he better go with him the next time.  You can tell by the pictures it’s a bit of a rough ride!

When we got to the bounce house, they were almost closing, so we had all the kids in there with no one else there!  They had a lot of fun jumping around together.

Not sure what Davis was thinking about in this picture!

 

We had a monster of a time!  We’ll see you next year!

Thanks Stacey for all of the AMAZING pictures!!!
