This was our 5th Annual Playgroup Pumpkin Patch trip!

Oh my, how we’ve grown!

This year we were back at Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm, but it didn’t feel the same.  For one thing, they more than doubled their prices, so we ended up not doing the hayride at all.  We were lucky with a warm, non-rainy day.  It was also Henry’s birthday, so we all dressed up and had cupcakes.  It was fun, despite the fact that we didn’t get to do the hayride.

I have already gone on and on about how much I love these people.  Let me just say that I’m so incredibly happy to have them as my tribe and how happy I am to have my girls grow up with these fantastic kids.

Pumpkin Patch 2014

Posted by on 1 Comment

We are super lucky to have an amazing community of families.  We do play groups once a month, and October is always a favorite.  We head to Northern Lights Christmas Tree Farm for their hayride and pumpkins.  It’s not a super crazy place for pumpkins, so it’s perfect for toddlers and their little siblings.

This was the third annual trip to the pumpkin patch.  Our group has changed quite a bit in the past three years!  We’ve added families; families have added members.

There was recently an article about playgroups that went around the internet, talking about the magic that these groups can hold.  Some have it, some don’t.  Ours has it.  I know that even when our kids are scattered and in different schools, we will still have our community.  Even if we only get together once a year (likely with the annual pumpkin patch trip!), I know these families will always be a part of our lives.bIMG_4268 bIMG_4278 bIMG_4289 bIMG_4294 bIMG_4300 bIMG_4316 bIMG_4344 bIMG_4385 bIMG_4391 bIMG_4407 bIMG_4424 bIMG_4436 bIMG_4457 bIMG_4478 bIMG_4479 bIMG_4485 bIMG_4497 bIMG_4515 bIMG_4517 bIMG_4565
