Pumpkin Patch

For family home evening one week we decided to take the boys to the pumpkin patch.  The pumpkin patches here are pretty awesome in that they have little rides for the kids, a petting zoo, and a huge blow up slide.  We don't even go there to pick a pumpkin because they are WAY too expensive.  The prices on the rides aren't particularly great either, but the boys have a good time so we figure it's worth it once a year.  :) 

It was a beautiful fall night and of course the boys wanted to start out with the slide.  Luke was a little nervous (surprisingly) but he made it up and they went down a few times before we talked them into trying something else. 

(the pictures I have of them sliding down are way too blurry to post)

Then it was on to the little petting zoo area.  Drew was a little anxious about it, and I was a little anxious that Luke would smack one of the animals in the face.   He was good though and I caught his hand before he could hit any of them too hard.  Such a funny kid, that one.



After the petting zoo we took the boys on a spin swing ride that made me want to puke.  I am getting too old for things like that I guess!  :)


I love dressing my little twins a like.  I don't know why it just makes me laugh to see them running around in the same little jeans and shirt.  They are the best of buddies lately too which makes me so happy.  Fun times!

I know everyone is so jealous of our pumpkin patches here in Vegas!!! At least the kids like them :)
Valley of Fire looks like fun. We need to go down there now that the weather is so nice!

How fun! Your boys are getting so big and I can't believe how much they look like Ralls!

Did you end up doing the ride? I am lame and didn't do it.

That's the best thing about having kids a little bit closer together: they usually end up being buddy-buddy. :) And your boys do look a lot alike -- and they are equally handsome little guys! :) :)

I'm not a big fan of spinning in circles...That stopped after I had my first baby! Something about having babies and messing with our heads... :)
