Jakers

To say our kids love our local pumpkin patch might be an understatement.  They ask all year long when they can go to Jakers again and they get excited during the off-season when we drive past the empty field where Jakers is set up at Halloween time.  It's a pretty minimal cost to get in but I had to set a limit that we could only go once a week this year, otherwise the girls would have been there every day! Haha!

So, although these 70+ pictures of our kids at Jakers this year might seem redundant to our few (if any) readers of our blog, we're posting them all anyway.

We {heart} Jakers!

This was Tal-man's first experience at Jakers.  He was pretty chill about the whole thing. I'm sure he'll be more into it next year :)

Savy found a treasure :)

Aurora found one of her favorite friends from school!
 photo IMG_3282 640x427_zpsyeim9lb5.jpg
The tube slides are always fun for the kids but the adults tend to hurt their tailbones.  Not recommended for adults ;)

And another friend from school!
 photo IMG_3285 640x427_zpsxmqwdswn.jpg
Savannah and Mia always have fun together :)

Happy girl!

The kids love the petting zoo too
(sad that this cute reindeer died between our first visit to Jakers this year and the time it closed for the season)

And the pigs :)

The kids were a little weary of the donkeys because we warned them that they could bite if they weren't careful where they put their fingers.

Snug as a bug!

But ready to be done.
 photo IMG_3607 427x640_zpsyril5qx9.jpg
Time to let Talmage loose in the corn! ;)
 photo IMG_3608 640x427_zpsaqtz1gbu.jpg
We had to watch him close so he wouldn't eat the corn.
 photo IMG_3609 427x640_zpsi09ol27t.jpg
He thought it was pretty fun stuff!
 photo IMG_3614 427x640_zpsboukibbq.jpg
Daddy tried to use the corn to help Talmage stand up.
 photo IMG_3619 640x427_zps0lbuq6jt.jpg
It didn't work very well :)

Our handsome little guy in the corn pit!

Savy was rockin' it with Daddy's shades.
 photo IMG_3626 427x640_zpscpdxjxaa.jpg
Have some corn, Mom!
 photo IMG_3627 427x640_zpscse0ygve.jpg
Daddy buried Talmage in the corn too :)
 photo IMG_3629 640x427_zps6a1xbcvn.jpg
He tried burying his hands so he couldn't eat the corn
 photo IMG_3631 640x427_zpsgtqihwcv.jpg
It lasted for about a second :)
 photo IMG_3632 640x427_zpsyz91k73f.jpg
Hold still, Tal!
 photo IMG_3635 640x427_zpsgjlgyshq.jpg
Trying out the slides.

Happy boy!

Our family :)

To finish off our season at Jakers we got the girls each a cotton candy that was about as big as them!
Rori ate the whole thing before we made it home!
 photo IMG_3644 427x640_zpseo0m3yvo.jpg
I'm glad Savy ate hers a little more slowly and saved some for another day.
 photo IMG_3645 427x640_zpscmeeyavc.jpg
Thanks for lots of good times and fun memories, Jakers!
Until next year...
