Street Side Pumpkin Patch

Brent has a good job and it comes with the occasional perks.  One perk was admission and unlimited access to a street side pumpkin patch.  For those of you who are in the northwest you may not know what a street side pumpkin patch is, let me explain.  It is a money making endeavor that opens in a large parking lot or vacant plot of land. It is full of blow up attractions, petting zoo animals, and other little amusement attractions.  There are pumpkins but this places is really a money pit.  Each ride cost a different organ and there is nothing really authentic about it.  That being said... 
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO!  

And it was worth it!  We took our friends, Derek and Kandace Smith plus family.  Here is Derek escorting his daughter Livi and Harper down the giant blow up slid.
Easton, who is 8, is such a helper.  I know he wanted to race through this obstacle course but he was so patient in waiting to help the little girls.
Look at that face of joy!
The tickets came through Brent's work, which meant a lot of co workers attended as well.  It was great to be able to catch up and say hi before the Christmas party in December!
Harper enjoyed the swing (Layla is in the background)
Harper LOVES the animals.  I am so close to opening my own zoo just to keep her entertained.  Okay, not really.  That would be madness.  I don't even know where to get a donkey.
Harper gets her animal fill every October.


Livi got very tired about halfway through.  She took up camp in the stroller. 
We had to convince Harper to go on the spinning ride... It was a mistake on our part.  She did not enjoy it. 
This was a fun way to spend a morning and we loved that we were able to do it with good friends and NOT PAY A PENNY!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love Las Vegas in October!
