Check Check Checking things off the bucket list!!

So I'm behind... But a couple weekends ago the weather was beautiful!! AND I had Monday off of work, Thank you Christopher Columbus!! Because of that we knew we had to do something fun with the Beez :) We ended up checking something off the fall bucket list we didn't know we were going to do... AND got to go to a pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins!

We have a local park near us that is awesome. They have a petting zoo and stables. They do horseback riding lessons, have playgrounds of course and many other things. They have an annual event called Locktoberfest (Lockwood Park) and its super fun for the little ones. They have games, pony rides, wagon rides, face painting, food and many other fun activities for kids!

When we first got there we got tickets. Then B saw the ponies, man does that kid love pony rides!! So he got to ride Nutmeg! She was awesome and even let B pet her after the ride. Then we walked around for a bit until we got to the story time wagon ride.

The wagon leads you through the forest and you here a "spooky" Halloween story, there was some interactive things to look for along the trail that coordinated with the story, so that was fun. Ultimately you get on the wagon because it leads you to a camp area where you can play games, have some hot chocolate, and even make s'mores! (That was the accidental thing we checked off the list) He had such a ball with the s'mores they were messy and delicious, just like they should be! After we had our hot cocoa and s'mores we got to go to Pumpkin Paradise!!

      The s'mores were a bit stickier than he expected them to be! So why not eat it off your hand??

In pumpkin Paradise you got to go look through a bunch of pumpkins and pick the ones that you wanted to take home! We let B pick his own. It was too cute, he got really excited!! We picked out two pumpkins to bring home and we called it a day! It was super fun and I think we will definitely be going back to Locktoberfest next year!!

So now that the pumpkins are picked and its nearing Halloween, its seems its time to carve them! Tonight we are going to tackle that project along with roasting the seeds :) I hope you guys are having a fabulous fall and a fun time checking things off your bucket lists!! More pics coming soon!
