black island farms!

let the fall traditions commence!!!

oh man, this time of year gets me so dang excited for all of the things!!! black island farms is always at the top of the list and we were chomping at the bit to get out there this year!

adi just didn't know how much fun she was going to have...or how much kettle corn she was going to get to eat...

it was so fun to have my FIL join us this year. he's gone with us once before this, and we've been counting down the years until he got to come with us again!

as per usual, as soon as we got our wrist bands, we hopped on the flat bed to go out and pick our pumpkins! the ride out there was a little breezy, but NO mosquitoes which is a big deal! there was only two other families with us so our round trip was pretty fast.

the older girls had big hopes for their pumpkins and they couldn't wait to choose theirs all by themselves. kendall found hers pretty quickly and named it sticker. she cracks us up!

brooklyn wanted a HUGE one and she got it!

adi got to hang with nana while we all picked pumpkins. her daddy made sure to find her a good one! i'm sure she'll love getting out there next year to pick her own!

the courtyard games, slides, and races were next. we basically ran from one thing to the next. the girls just so excited for the next activity. they loved the slides, turkey races, the corn kernel box, the cow/pig train, and the bounce house. they were grinning from ear to ear the whole time. adi sat on my MIL's lap and ate kettle corn literally the whole time we spent in the courtyard. she coudn't get enough!

i love the changes in this picture every year! the girls are growing like weeds though.. and it's so sad, but so fun all at the same time!

i have to mention again how lucky i am (and the girls!) that james loves this stuff as much as we do. he looks forward to it, makes it extra fun for the girls, and with an attitude like that, makes doing things like this SO much easier for me! he really is the best and i couldn't ask for better!

when it was time to head out, we stopped to get some free pumpkins james won and also a butternut squash! we caved and let the girls each choose a tiny pumpkin. adalyn didn't let hers go the whole way home.

until next year black island farms!!!
