Hayrides, Pumpkins and Rides, oh my!

Today we planned on going apple picking again, but it was not in the cards. So we went to a pumpkin patch at a farm nearby instead. Not only did it have a little place to pick your own pumpkins, but it had pony rides, hay rides, a "spud slinger", and a whole area that was like a mini fair, with a maze, silo slide, little cow train and a zip line. It was called Colonial Springs Farm. They were super duper organized and clean. Well-priced and a really good time. I was glad we got there when we did. It wasn't incredibly early, about noon, but by the time we left at 3pm, it was packed!

The Bean was not a fan of this ride when it started, but he started enjoying it shortly after.

Zip-Line!

Slide - she fell every time

Helping out her brother. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.

I don't care that this picture is terrible, I still absolutely LOVE it.

Gosh, I love these two. The Bean and Little Miss

Everybody say "Cheese!"

I then cleaned a 5 shelf bookshelf that we had been storing at my grandmothers house. It's been in an unfinished basement and started growing stuff... if you know what I mean. Yikes! So I cleaned the heck out of it outside. Brought it into my inlaws living room and finally got my crafting things organized. It's almost like a work space. I hope that with my new hours I can find time to really get cracking. My MIL is still pushing my to learn how to use her sewing machine. It's good; I really need the push. It should really help me get my act together and work faster.

Next weekend is Little Misses 11th birthday so we are going to try to go apple picking then, too. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for reading!
