family pumpkin patch pics

We went on our annual Trip to Butler's Orchard yesterday. The boys go with their classes this week and next (not to Butler's though). As usual, we had loads of fun at their Harvest Days Festival that runs through the end of the month. Per tradition, we stopped in on their Country store to pick up some fresh picked apples from the orchard, some caramel, apple cider and kettle corn.

the hay loft barn that I wouldn't let my hay fever having kids go near. I sneezed just looking at the place.
we layered our clothing pretty well because it was a pretty blustery day when standing in the shade.

There were three pretty awesome slides that the big and little kids loved going down. Here is Cboy and mylittle sisterCboy and his auntie Trinidaddy and my niece, sister's kid...
