A Fun Fall Weekend with J

J came for a weekend visit 2 weeks ago and we went to a pumpkin patch and had lots of fun!  We were going to go to a bigger one farther away, but the kids decided against it because they wanted to be able to hang out with J more at the house.  So we ended up going to one in town....it was still lots of fun though.

1. The kids got to pick out lots of nice pumpkins.

2. The kids rode on a dusty barrel train ride and jumped in some bouncies.

3. We had the best Italian ices ever!  They had bits of real fruit in them and were so yummy!

4. The absolute highlight was the petting zoo.  Usually I'm not a fan of these things, but this one was so different.  The kids got to see and touch a porcupine, prairie dogs, a bearded dragon, and a wallaby!  The porcupine was raised by the owner and acted just like a puppy dog.  It was so cute!  The prairie dogs were adorable, but were rather jumpy.  When given the chance, they would just jump onto you!

The rest of the time, the kids just played and played and played with J.  (In the pic below Elina is totally covered in plastic insects and reptiles while she played with J.)
