This weekend we had so much fun! We did some really cool things.
For starters, we headed out to Heap's Pumpkin Farm. We have never been there before but Grandma Patti works there so we went to see her! We played in the fun barn and got to climb all over some hay.
Then we played in these corn containers. Evie kept losing her shoes.
Gracie and Evie decided to make corn angels. Do you know how dusty it was? Glad I dressed Gracie in white pants!
You could climb through the tunnels into different containers.
After we dusted ourselves off, we went and saw this cute baby cow.
Then of course we had to take our pics by all kinds of signs.
This little diva is all about posing for pics lately. She was excited to play in the corn.
Presley fell in love with this big tractor.
Next we got to go in this corn maze.
It was really tough. I think you could easily get lost. It took us awhile to get out. At night they make it haunted. I don't think I would enjoy that at all.
We tried the bean maze next. It was a little bit easier but it was HUGE!
Gracie ran ahead. At least you could kind of see her.
Bub ran ahead too. He thought he was pretty cool. Afterall, he was he one who led us out of the corn maze.
Then we went on a hayride.
It took us out to the pumpkin patch. There were tons of pumpkins growing all over the place. The guy said they grow 30 different kinds of pumpkins! I didn't even know there was that many!
We found some huge ones too!
They were so big, they were hard to climb on!
Presley begged to get this one. Not sure we'd be able to carry that one!
When we got back, we found all these turkeys! They were gobbling all over the place. We told them we'd see them at Thanksgiving! Ha!
And of course, we had to get some pumpkins. We got little ones for now. If you want reasonable priced pumpkins, go to Heap's!
After we got home, we broke out the paints and painted our pumpkins.
Gracie made a witch!
And today after church, we headed to the Joliet Airport because they were having a kid fest! They had all kinds of planes out to check out.
But then we saw you could go on a plane ride! We signed up right away!
It was a little plane. The girls and I sat in the back. Evie was a little nervous.
Grandpa sat in front with Presley on his lap.
He was a little nervous too.
We took off and wow! You could see SO much. It was so cool!
It was a beautiful day for flying!
You could even see the outline of Chicago from Joliet!
There's downtown Joliet. You can see Harrah's in the middle there.
We saw St. Joe's too!
Thanks Grandpa! He just made everyone's day by letting us fly on the plane!
We had to see some more planes. Since we just recently saw the Disney movie of "Planes", Presley kept asking where Dusty the Cropduster was.
Little Miss posing by this cool plane.
They even had a helicpoter there too!
After all the plane excitement, we got to go in a fire truck too!
And then we got to go in this vehicle and pop our heads out the top. I think it might be like a SWAT team vehicle?
And also on our way out, we even got to drive some of our own planes.
What a fun weekend! Beautiful weather for my beautiful family to make some beautiful memories!
