Sunny Side Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went a pumpkin patch about 25 miles from our house. We all had a blast! The kids had so much fun running around and playing with all the toys. There was a ton of stuff to do: horse-drawn haystack rides, hay bale slide, pedal cart track, mini children's corn maze, straw bale maze, giant gourd slingshots, see animals, golf, bean bag toss, tether ball, play sets, tepee and wagon display. Must not forget the most important pick your pumpkins! Then we came home and made Halloween cupcakes.

Fair

Sorry, meant to post earlier. This happened early October!

Dedrick called me about an hour before he left work this how the conversation went:

Dedrick: We are going to the fair!
Damian: Okay, when and where?
Dedrick: When I get home in a hour.
Damian: Why today, and not this weekend?
Dedrick: It will not busy because it is a weekday.
Damian: Okay, where is the fair and what do you want for dinner?
Dedrick: Hutchinson and let the kids decide.
Damian: Are you sure your my husband and some strange man!
Dedrick:(Laughs) See you an hour or less, Bye!

So I told the kids were we were going and they get to decide on dinner. The kids were so happy! The kids decided on IHOP for dinner, who doesn't love pancakes for dinner! After dinner we drove to the fair grounds and it was very busy. I just kinda looked at my husband like not busy my butt! When we got the sales window we found out why, it was free if you had a Dillon's saving card or just a dollar per person. Then inside all the rides were just a 1 ticket and not the post number. The kids had a BLAST! Glad my husband told us we were going to have fun for the night, before all the madness of Dedrick being gone for two weeks.

Wonderful Dad

Dedrick has been working for 12 hour days for two weeks. He comes home to eat and sleep. So we have not had time to spend time with him, except to say good night. The other night when he came home and before crashing. He took the time to sword fight with the kiddos. He works hard for his family and we love him very much!!!

Third Time is the Charm

This summer we decided to take the kids fishing! There are lots lakes and ponds around us. Dedrick and I have not been fishing is awhile, so it took a few tries to make sure we had everything together. So the first time we go fishing we do not catch anything, but loose several hooks. The second time we caught a craw fish and some clams. The third time all three kids caught a fish, they weren't very big but the kids were in heaven.





Then after fishing the third time we stop and have a dinner picnic and the kids had a race rolling down a hill. So we enjoyed fishing even with all the up and downs.
