cody's field trip to the pumpkin patch

Cody's preschool class took there first field trip to the Agua Linda Farm to go pumpkin picking. The kids seemed to run nonstop, I wished we had more land so the kids could just run like this all day, they had so much fun.I am so greatful that I have the opportunity to go to these special things w/ my kids. the boys spent so much time running through this corn maze......... and going up and down this mountain of hay bales
after searching forever and going to the end of the pumpkin patch, we managed to scrounge up a couple of OK looking pumpkins
Cody ran through the whole patch yelling back at us that we are wasting time.
Caitlin finally realized the maze looked fun and ran for a little bit
There was a little petting zoo and the kids had fun chasing the goats.
They had a lot of tire swings and they were, of course, a big hit. I think Cody tried out every one of them.
We went on a hay ride. Caitlin didn't want to get on and screamed but she did manage to calm down once she realized it wasn't scary. I wish I could've found a pumpkin as cute as this one. Maybe we'll have better luck in Wilcox.

Disney On Ice

We were fortunate to be able to go the Disney On Ice here in Tucson last night. The kids are on Fall Break this week so it worked out perfectly that we were able to go on a weeknight. We have had the tickets for over a month and Cody has been so excited to go. He has been trying to fast forward life so the day would arrive sooner. When the day finally came he was so excited. There was a big group of us going that include 12 kids. I wasn't sure if we were all going to make it because some of the kids had been sick. Fortunately, we were all able to go and everybody loved the show, it was really amazing. The bad part of the night was that both Cameron and Caitlin woke up with fevers around midnight. Caitlin seems to have slept it off but my poor Cameron is miserable today. I hope he recovers soon, I hate seeing my babies sick. Caitlin slept in until 10:30 this morning and this is what her hair looked like. I am not sure I am up to the challenge of this one.
Ellies face was very blue after drinking her snocone-but of course she looked very cute w/it.
They really did love the show but they were very tired
This is everything that was a part of the show
waiting to get inside
