My kind of fall weekend...

As a teacher I usually have Columbus day weekend circled on my calendar ten times. Somehow this year I wasn't even aware that there was a 3 day weekend headed my way, probably because most days just roll into the next.

The weather was warm and beautiful, with temperatures rising into the 70's here. It was the sort of weekend that begged for an outing. We choose to head to a pumkin farm with the boys and my BF Jenn and her family. We had a lot of fun looking at huge pumpkins, crafts, and animals.



Zach had the most fun riding the kiddie rides. (Mom and Dad were able to get in on the fun too!):



But on of Z's favorite parts of the day was riding on the ponies. Zach was able to ride "Cocoa" again...he was so excited!:



As for the "babies" (I use that term loosely with Matt) they found ways to enjoy the day. Averie enjoyed being pushed around, and find time to take a nap.

Matt on the other hand, took in the sights, enjoyed snacks, and was excited that his brother won him a prize.



Even the adults got in on the action. Dan really enjoyed visiting with all the animals, especially the camel. Wayne went on a super slide with Z, and claims he will never go again, while the 2 year old raced to try to get back on.





Jenn and I entertained ourselves by showing off our witchy side



And then we posed(some of us did) for some group/family shots:





All in all it was a beautiful day, and the fun continued yesterday at an impromptu pizza gathering at my sis' house. It was great to see my fam and watch Jack and Zach reunite. With Jack in school, Z is missing his cousin something fierce, so it was nice to see the boys enjoying their cousin time. Both the boys really enjoyed putting on their costumes and being two sides to the same superhero.



Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did.
