It was a light homework day, so we met the Hughes at the new park. We are calling it Pixie Hallow Park or Acorn Park. One of the cutest I've ever seen for sure! This wasn't our first visit to the new park, but all the kids think this place is awesome, so we were excited for them to play there together.
Then we headed to the school where we joined many other families having lunch from the In and Out Burger truck, who donated the food for a fund raiser. Then we headed to the pumpkin patch.
About half of Lorelei's class came. She enjoyed the hayride with two classmates and loved seeing a couple of others at the patch and feeding the animals. Makin got to chat with a little brother who will likely be in his Kindergarten class next year, so that was great too. (I would like to go on record that I'm officially a pumpkin patch snob since we got to enjoy Vala's the last two years, but I try to stay positive and still enjoy the ones we do have...but just no comparison. :)) This one had a nice sized open barn for the animals, a hay bale maze and a patch. They did have pumpkins growing so that you could see the stages of growth, so I liked that, however, the pumpkins the kids got were not grown there. Still educational though. :)
We have had some crazy-warm weather for October. The mornings are gorgeous and cool and then it warms up to the 90s in the afternoon many of these days. On Columbus Day we managed to fit in school work, Arbor Hills and the lake...I was quite proud of my multi-tasking skills that day and the kids and I were so energized from all the outdoor fun!

Lake time with the Hughes. Loving the sand and water and pretending we live by the beach. ;) This visit, Aubrey took turns pulling them on their boogie boards, which was a huge hit for all. (Don't you love the line they formed for turns? We aren't sure who came up with that but it made us laugh!)
What fun! Enjoy that beautiful weather. Your lake pics are always my favorite. :-)
