Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

On October 10th, with temps in the mid-40's, we traveled to Jollay Orchards in Coloma, Michigan .  This has become a fun event for our family, and the 3rd time our kids have been there!

Joining us were friends Stacy and Mike Shewey, their children Alex, 12, Morgan, 10, and Jackson, 7.  We hadn't seen the Shewey family in almost a year and a half!  Also with us was my friend, Colleen, her daughter, Olivia, and Olivia's friend, Alexis.

The kids played on some inflatables and "park" equipment, pet & fed some animals, then wandered through a corn maze.  We all took a hayride out to the apple orchard where we picked apples.  The hayride then took us to a pumpkin patch.  We chose a few pumpkins then stopped at the haunted house.  I stayed outside with Olivia, who doesn't like haunted houses.  Our kids were brave enough to go in but came out a bit upset this year!

The kids caught  a magic show, put on by two young boys.  We headed back to our house in St. Joseph, Michigan, ate some chili and watched football.  OUr little kids really enjoyed the attention of the bigger kids!
