bucket lists Fall family Honeybee SuperBug Weekend Recap

Recap: It’s Fall, Ya’ll

Wow!  I haven’t written in a bit.  Truthfully, it’s been a bit busy around here.  Nothing we can’t handle, but busy nonetheless.  We missed this weekend’s recap and with this crazy schedule, I decided to just take some time and share it today for my very own #ThrowbackThursday.

This past Monday, Superbug, Honeybee, and I decided to spend the day checking off items on our Fall Bucket List.  Since it was a beautiful Fall day and everyone was free, we decided to continue our Fall Festival tradition at a new locale.  It’s our local pumpkin patch.

1.  Visit the pumpkin patch.

It was a wonderful time.   Annually, Superbug and I head to a pumpkin patch about 90 minutes away from us.  This year, I decided to try out a pumpkin patch about 30 minutes away.  It’s a bit smaller, but the fun was still an enjoyable experience.

Since it was a new location, we peeked at the map and decided to head over to the big kid tractors for Superbug to ride.  He had a bit of a struggle riding up the hill, but it was worth it to see him ride around the track and flash that huge grin.

Afterwards, we decided to mosey over to the “Egg” trip.  The kids had a pseudo paintball field with soft “eggs”.  Superbug’s eyes lit up and he begged me to let him try it.  After ensuring it was safe (all participants wore safety goggles) and got the prep speech, I let him in.  Yep.  Thrilled.

Ready to roll…

After Superbug enjoyed the field, he and I decided it was time to let Honeybee get out and enjoy the farm as well.  There was a mini corn maze just for little ones.  I took Honeybee out of her stroller and she couldn’t wait to try it out with big brother’s backing.

Off to explore..

Don’t let the picture fool you.  The corn maze was very small and the perfect height for She enjoyed it for a while and then was ready for something a little different.  That’s when we decided it was time to go to the pumpkin patch.  There was a really cute tractor with hay bales as seats.  We hopped on board and enjoyed a nice ride to the land of pumpkins.

After we finished our pumpkin perusal, we went back to the main portion of the farm for some time in the “Fun Barn” complete with swings and lots of hay.  We spent a few minutes playing in the hay and then it was time to make one more pumpkin catch pass for a favorite Fall tradition…KETTLE KORN!!!!  

I bought a medium sized bag as FatherWinter isn’t a huge fan of the treat (gasp!  I know!!).  By the time we got home, I was talking myself out of turning around for another bag.  It was a yummy time!
By the time the day was over, we were exhausted.  But I was so very, very happy to check the boxes off the checklist.
