Then on Saturday we went to one of the pumpkin patches around here called pumpkinville. Now we knew this one would be smaller than the others but it was the only one that didn't charge extra for the cornmaze and hayride. The kids had a blast though. I think at their age the smaller one was the better pick. They had so much fun taking the wagon out into the field and picking their pumpkins. They LOVED the cornmaze, would probably have done it a millions time if we let them. And the hayride was the most adventurous hayride I have ever been on. A lot of the ride went through some really muddy areas, had never gone hayride muddin' before, lol. The kids loved it, which is what was most important.
Then on Sunday the USO did a Military Appreciation day at the Zoo, we got in for free so we weren't turning that down, lol. One thing military families are good at is taking advantage of free things! Dwayne's mom Pat and his uncles girlfriends son Dougy joined us for the day. The kids had a blast seeing all the animals and the adults were going crazy with the crowds, lol. Seriously the line for food was about 30 minutes long! But all in all everyone had fun! I can't wait to take the kids back on a day when it isn't so crowded for them to enjoy the animals even more without having to be rushed so others could see.
And then Sunday evening we spent with Dwayne's family. Dwayne's cousin's fiance' cooked us a yummy dinner and we hung out talking and watching football games, even though some of us did get a little upset over the Cowboys game, lol. The kids played with Dougy until they were so tired the fell asleep on the ride home!
Was a great weekend for everyone. There is nothing better than enjoying a nice weekend with the family.
I am soo glad you had such a wonderful weekend! It sounded like alot of FUN! Got to LOVE all the free stuff the military offers to us. It's nice to take advantage of those events. I think we deserve something free every once in a while.
