Irvine Park Railroad Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Kyle had the day off from school and since the sky was overcast and the temp was under 90, we took the opportunity to venture into something fall-ish. The Pumpkin Patch!!! Last year we enacted a rule that we wouldn't go to a pumpkin patch and drip with sweat! So with a random cloud cover keeping the sun at bay, we jumped in our car and met up with our neighbor friends for a few hours of fun.  

The train caught their attention every time.

Both boys enjoyed running through the maze over and over again.

A longing peek at the train passing by.

The kids enjoyed a 10 minute ride through the park from the caboose.

 We do this each year, so it's quite amazing to see my very big boys sitting all by themselves. I certainly don't have a baby or toddler anymore.

The date stamp is obnoxious, but I really liked this view.

Then on to the tractor rides...

The boys were in heaven! Kyle loved being old enough to drive (haha!) and Gavin was perfectly content to go along for the rides by his brother's side.

Afterwards it was time for a snack lunch, feeding the ducks, watching the train go by, and a visit to the playground.

And the clouds held the entire time we were there!!! Success!
