Pumpkin patch fun

This year we were lucky enough to have both grandparents and aunt Kelly come to the pumpkin patch with us. We started out taking a few pictures on the tractor and then heading over to the pumpkin patch to start looking for our pumpkins. This year the also had pumpkins in bins you could pick from. Lots of different types to chose from so we looked at those first before heading to the field.

Logan made pile  of pumpkins again and Payton looked around picking up a few then choosing the one she wanted, Kevin picked a HUGE pumpkin and I chose one that had stripes
.
After that we went to see the animals , there was a small petting zoo this year with piggy's and goats and bunnies and the kids loved it but they were sad they couldn’t hold the kittens because they were to young.

Then we went and explored more of the farm and found a little area in the back where you can fish and I think they use that area for weddings.The kids liked watching people fish and walking over the bridge.

Ferry boat to Food

OK so we have gone to Kingston many times but haven’t been in a few years and every time we stay close to where we get off the boat. We always ate at Drifters which was ok but not the best but we didn’t have a lot of options since we needed something the kids would eat and wasn’t super expensive. So this time we researched it a little more and my Father in Law said that the Grub Hut got good reviews and was the right price range. So we walked a little bit more and we found there were more options up that way , good to know for next time. So we got to the Grub Hut a nice place and good food. Most of us got Cheese burgers and the kids both got Hot dogs.  I loved that you could get different sides like potato salad or coleslaw with your burger it is nice to have a change from the traditional burger and fries.
Next we walked down to Mora Iced Creamry a tradition every time we go to Kingston. Payton got Dark Chocolate mint but I think it may have been strong for her , Logan got chocolate , Kevin got Bob’s Peppermint ( it is really good ) and I got Irish Coffee. It is a nice treat and it is something special we get to do when we go on a Ferry boat ride.

It was a great trip and the kids had so much fun we can’t wait to go on another Ferry boat ride adventure.

Ferry boat to Fun

Saturday we rode the from Edmond's to Kingston, the kids were so excited because they have been wanting to do it for a few years. They love riding on the ferry boat and walking around with Grandma V. We played on the beach for a little bit while we wait for Grandma and grandpa to arrive and then rushed to get on the ferry.

After we got to Kingston we walked over to the beach and the kids played in the sand. They drew lines in the sand with sticks, they found a tiny crab and lots of shells that they buried and marked with an X and had grandma find the treasure.

Next we walked up to a park I had been to when I was pregnant with Payton and the school I worked for took the kids on a ferry boat ride. The kids had fun running an playing for a little bit


After a while we were all hungry so we walked up the street a little bit to the Grub Hut. It was a cute little place and the food was so good!  More on the food in the next post
