Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Today was our long awaited trip to the Pumpkin Patch, I had been looking for a Pumpkin Patch for some time now (other than the ones that they usually set outside churches here in Miami) but hadn't really come up with anything that caught my eye.

Well just recently I found this place in the Redlands that has been there forever I guess but we had never heard of called The Little Farm and they just so happen to have a Pumpkin Patch and pony rides and a Petting Zoo among other things that of course the kids loved.

With work and school we don't usually have tons of time to spare but this month we decided to try and get ahead a bit in school so that we can put s
ome time aside for some fun family time.

Our tri
p to the Pumpkin Patch wasn't necessarily what you would imagine, unless you live here in Florida, we were lucky it didn't rain but we still couldn't escape from the mid 80's weather. It was still lots of fun even though we were sweating bullets 10 minutes after we arrived.
The boys got to pick a pumpki
n each and with the pumpkin they got a pony ride, we all lined up to ride the pony (well the kids did) and Lucas seemed excited though we were skeptical that he would end up going through with it. In the end Liam and Marcelo rode the horse but Lucas decided to pass on that. Since Lucas decided to pass on that pony ride we took him to the petting zoo and he had a really good time with the chicks, the sheep and the piggy. Later we took a stroll by the Butterfly Farm.









We have a whole bunch of Halloween activities lined up for the next cou
ple of weekends the boys and us are looking forward to it.
We'll be working on Halloween Foam decoration, a Gingerbread House and of course Pumpkin Painting :)
