pumpkin patch- arboretum


monday we went to the pumpkin patch at the arboretum. we went with my old friend jilian and her husband and 3 of her 6 kids. it was a little chilly, but a lot of fun, and the kids had a blast. the petting zoo was one of their favorite places.

makenzie loved the baby goats and sheep! there was also a hay maze, but the kids mostly just jumped in the hay.



















there was also a little chicken that the kids loved. kenzie picked him up, but they weren't supposed to.














my beautiful children!!! gotta just love em!


















we had a wonderful picnic lunch on one of the lawns. below is jilian with shawn, abby (9mo.), luke (2 yrs.), and faith (4 yrs.).




















audrey and her friend faith!!
just trying to get them to pose!
the picture below shows their personalities perfectly...
kenzie, quiet, calm;
zach, loud, active;
audrey, show stopper, miss personality
brian and i had an argument about whether or not this would be a good background. he thought it would. and he was right. (sorry, honey!)
here we are.
friends!

jil and i with faith, luke, and kenz
this was our last ditch effort for a picture on the way out... they were all pictured out.
