Dollinger Pumpkin Patch

Today we spent the morning at the pumpkin patch in Minooka with Nona and Sofi. We went to the same place that we tried out last year…free to get in, lots of things for the kids to climb in and on, beautiful creek running thru the middle of the farm, flowers, animal petting are, tipee, PUMPKINS, shop, corn maze and hay rides. We took the play route, petting animals and snapping a few cute pics. We let Brin pick a pumpkin and then decided to save the BIG pumpkin shopping for a cheaper place. After spending about 2 hours there, we loaded the 5 of us back into the car and met Mason and Chris at Portillo’s for lunch. Thinking back on our trip to Dollingers last year and our trip this year, it is AMAZING at how much Brin has changed in 1 year. Life is moving so fast!! Take at peak:

She was SOO not into smiling or even looking at the camera! Sofi LOVED the hay bails! She still had staw in her hair when we got to lunch…and she thought it was probably in her underwear too! hahaha  Brin and Mommy! We had a great day at the patch!
