Pumpkin Farm X 3 and a Zoo trip!

Back in October, yeah you heard me October, we hit up our usual circuit of Pumpkin Farms!

There was Gobberts with Grandma one day after work. We only stayed for a bit, we just went one day after work/school when it wasn't super crowded so we could see the animal land they have there. Honestly it's better than a trip to the zoo! You're WAY closer to the animals and they have some pretty cool ones, like mini zebras and giraffes! Last year Nicoletta wouldn't even go up on the top deck near the giraffes, this year she was a bit more brave and came up there but that was about as far as it went. Poor Luca was too little to protest, he thank us for it one day I'm sure, but he fed the giraffe a carrot. It was all fun and games until he stuck his tongue out and licked his hand then it was game over, he didn't like that one bit!








Next we had our annual cousins trip to Gobberts. It was SUPER crowded so we didn't stay all that long.

Just long enough to...

Attempt a group picture of whoever would stand still long enough


Enjoy some delicious seasonal treats...




And make Mom happy by posing for a picture together!


Kristin and I started a tradition of taking our kids to the pumpkin farm together for a little play date. Last year we had 4 kids - Alexis(4), Jocelyn & Nicoletta (2) and Luca who was about 30 seconds old. This year it was Kristin's turn to have the mini baby with their new addition of another beautiful girl, Delaney. Now that we were completely out numbered when my Mother so nicely asked to come with we of course said YES!! It was a beautiful day, the kids had fun and we left with as many kids as we started with so I call that a success!!





















We went to the zoo and can you believe that is what we had to wear in October!

We went on a "swamp ride"


Played in the Children's area


Luca kept wondering where the dolphins went.


And Nicoletta LOVED watching the dolphins swim by her!
