OUR BLESSED DEN: Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Fun

Last Sunday we all went to the pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful sunny day with a slight chill. I of course had to dress Little Bear up in his overalls. They're actually too short for him, but I wanted him to wear them one last time. I of course had to put his pumpkin hat on him that his uncle made. The pumpkin patch is 24 acres and on an actual farm. So, Little Bear got to look at some chickens and cows. He loved it. We took a hay ride out to the patch. We would find a pumpkin we liked, then walk around a little more and see another one we liked. Little Bear helped us out in the selection process. We loved this place. We had never been there before, but our friend recommended it. The bonus is, that it was free. There are some really neat pumpkin patches in our area, but it cost $10 to get in. Next year maybe we'll do that when Little Bear is another year older and would enjoy it more. For now, I'm so glad we came here. They even had apple cider and kettle corn available. If you're in the area, check out Schaake's Pumpkin Patch.

Happy playing in the hay

He wasn't quite sure what to think of the feel of the hay bales at first

Handsome boy all relaxed in the hay - notice the crossed legs? Cracks me up

Last night we met up with CC and her kids and another couple from church and their kids. I felt weird just taking Little Bear trick or treating by himself, so we joined our friends. We had a blast. We were in CC's neighborhood. We loved "catching our little turkey". Mark and I had to wear our camo to complete the look.
