Last night I decided we all needed a fun day off. So, I surprised the kids with a day off and 'field trip'. We went to an incredible pumpkin farm nearby....'farm' is too small a word. They have a great business out there selling all sort of food, gifts. There's a corn maze, train, a petting zoo (the girls' favorite!). Even though my big boys are a little old for some of this, they were incredibly good sports and helpful with the girls....of course, having lunch thrown in the deal helped!

The girls ate up the whole experience, for some reason I couldn't get the boys to pose like this:

Though I did get them to do this:

The girls loved the animals, of course

while the guys waited 'patiently'

the girls and mama

everyone smile, now!
