I didn't think we were going to make it to the pumpkin patch this year. Jayden started with a fever Friday night and it has continued on and off the entire weekend. This morning he woke up with a semi-normal temp, so we decided to make the trek to Arthur for a family outing. We decided that this may be our last big trip until the babies arrive. We may make it down to a fall picnic at deer camp if Jayden is recovered from his surgery, but that will be a game day decision. Hopefully, I will be able to travel down South for Thanksgiving with the boys this year, but again, it just depends! So, this weekend was our chance to enjoy a family day! Jayden was a trooper and didn't spike a fever until around 6 tonight. So here is our day:
On the way to The Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur, Illinois!
I would highly recommend visiting the patch if you live in the area and love fall. They have so many neat displays. They are so talented there that they even decorated the White House lawn last fall!
We met the Sitko family over there so we could catch up and let the kids play just like we did last year.
They checked out the animals and neat displays.
We found this little area with a little waterfall. Jay didn't want me to take his picture, so this was the best I could get!
How tall this fall?
Looks like he is almost 3 feet tall! He is actually 35 3/4" according to his physical he has last week.
Here is the baby bump at 23 weeks! I think next year's trip to the patch may be a challenge. I am either going to have to take a lot of help with me, only take either Jayden or the girls, or simply just "skip" a year.
Payton really wanted me to take her picture at the sign too. The little diva kept her white sunglasses on all day. So cute!
A random nice lady offered to take our picture on one of the little trails that Jayden decided to visit. He wasn't thrilled, but at least we got a picture!
He worked really hard with Payton to move tons of pumpkins from the edge of the path to the table.
Our last stop was a pumpkin that was born in Taylorville! We thought that was really neat!!
Our little trip to the pumpkin patch was a success. Jayden wanted his Dad to hold him most of the day, the weather was perfect, we survived without a fever or any major falls, and we enjoyed a nice lunch with our friends and had wonderful dessert from The Homestead Bakery! Yum!! Happy Fall!!
