Family Day at Dream Field Farms

Last Saturday we loaded the boys up and headed to Dream Field Farms for an exciting fall day. Yes, it was freezing but Dax and I both agreed that it was better than it being hot. It actually was warmer at 9 when we got there than it was at 11:30 when we left. We caravaned with the Vaughans and Booths behind us to enjoy a day at the Pumpkin Patch with 6 kids in tow. The night before we told Cole that if he went to sleep when he woke up we would go; that being said, he headed off to bed to awake in the morning all excited and ready to go. We had yet to take Cole to a pumpkin patch in prior years just because - bad parents, I know. He had a great time at this one. They had a bounce house, huge slide and obstacle course, corn maze, hay maze, cow train, pig races, feathered friends, Maybell the milk cow, goats, donkeys, hayrides and pumpkins. Both the boys enjoyed it and all the running around they could do. You can tell from my previous post that Cole loves anything to do with farming so you know that the first thing out of his mouth when he saw the tractors was, "I need to drive that tractor." I told him he couldn't so he said, "I need Daddy to drive it!" He truly believes that all farm equipment belongs to him. Karri made the comment when we were on the hayride that it is funny to think that some of the people there had never been on hay before or weren't accustomed to the "farm life." I told her that it is different to think about people that aren't use to it, especially since it is something that we are so use to. We loved spending the morning as a family and having our friends there as well. We headed home around lunch since Daddy was leaving for the Auburn game that afternoon. Enjoy the photos!Family trying to stay warm. The wind was blowing and the sun wasn't in sight.Owen liked the squealing pigs...He kept calling them pup pup. Nope buddy, definitely not a pup pup.Coleman had to check out the pumpkin patch...I will give it to them; they planted pumpkins and had the vines but Daddy told us that they bought all the pumpkins and put them out. He had wondered what it would be like since he knows from experience that pumpkins are hard to grow in these parts. To the naked eye (mine) you wouldn't know the difference.Jackson and Cole enjoying the huge hay bales.Cole wouldn't go down with out Dax!Daddy joined in on the fun taking the boys down the slide. Owen loved falling down in the bounce house.Cole took a second to give me a smile. It is funny because he is not extremely fond of bounce houses unless he is the only one in them.Jackson Booth (3), Owen (1), Cole (2) and Pruitt Vaughan (2) - Allie was in her stroller all bundled up and Tucker didn't want to pose for us.
I think they are so cute! They had pumpkin shirts on but it was too cold to take their hoodies off :(
