pumpkin patch and best nap drive ever!


so our week was really busy... now that Pete is doing after school tutoring twice a week and back to school night was thursday...which was a 2 hour long process of trying to get all 3 kids to sleep, and even with my mom's help, ended with a nightime drive when Pete got home :) so anyway, Pete took off friday and we went to the pumpkin patch!! We had a great time, except that it was like 100 degrees...what happened to the beautiful fall weather? but the boys were super excited anyway and each got to pick out a little pumpkin and a tiny one for Emmy.

here is Lucas trying to pick up "the great pumpkin"....we have been watching charlie brown and the great pumpkin.
there was a hay bale maze that the boys loved running through....
and then a corn maze.....
and the boys taking a short cut through the corn stalks....
and a tractor wagon ride!
the day ended with the best nap drive ever.....we decided to go stop at disneyland and get our passes for this year! and we were so excited for the boys to wake up and realize where we were.....but as it turns out it was not the best day to go to disneyland. the parking garage was having repairs done and so we had to park out in some lot far away.... the buzz lightyear lot.....and take a bus to the park but it was like 100 degrees still and took an hour to get there and I was not too happy at the happiest place on earth. But the boys were ecstatic!! so we got an ice cream and rode the monorail.....and then left... which is the beauty of having a pass. only to board the bus and have it break down on the way back to parking lot with 3 very hungry and tired toddlers(steph and mason were there too). so seriously the main point is never park in the buzz lightyear lot!!!
