Pumpkin Patch

I decided to check out our local pumpkin patch early in the month to see if it was more my speed(I don’t like crowds). We practically had the place to ourselves! It was so much easier to keep track of my kids with no crowd. I like this pumpkin patch because it has a bunch of animals the kids can feed for a very reasonable price. I love that they have made it so easy for families to come and enjoy some fall fun. Some of the goats were super aggressive on this trip which caused some problems with some of my kids. They don’t all handle aggressive behavior well. But look at this cuteness!

They always have lots of babies!

My twins will spend half their time picking up the feed that others have spilled. Llamas always crack me up. They got to help move and feed the tortoises!

Of course I was super worried that Little Bit would drop it!

Thanks Carmichael’s Pumpkin Patch for a fun morning!

Will Rogers/Wiley Post Annual Fly-in

One of my girls heard about the fly-in on the radio and asked if we could go.

I had never been to one so I had no idea what to expect.

Right when we were parking a plane flew over our heads.

I think we could have left after that and my kids would have been impressed.
There was singing, impersonators, bounce houses, and tons of airplanes taking off and landing.They might have gotten hot and tired towards the end but they had a good time.This therapy dog was perfect timing.

We had just lost our dog the day before and they loved just sitting and petting her.

I loved that they told me she helps people calm down and so they were super calm while petting her.

Thanks for a great, kid friendly event!

Spring Mill State Park ~Mitchell, IN

Apparently I have been to Spring Hill State Park when I was younger. I did not remember it though and was not sure what to expect. This beautiful pioneer village was a pleasant surprise! Several of the buildings had heritage interpreters to show you what life would have been like in the 1800’s. She was wonderful with all of my kids crazy questions. We got to show the girls how a mill works.

Hopefully this lesson sticks with them more than if we had just read about it in a book.

Grinding the corn was Little Bit’s favorite. The have a museum on the upper floors of the mill! Checking out the wheel from up above. There was so much to explore!

What a great stop!

Be sure to check this place out if you live in central Indiana!

 

 

I included a quick look into our visit there in this video.
