Fall Season Fun!

Oh Fall in Oklahoma!!!  I really love this time of year, the temps are getting cooler, the leaves start to change and we get to do all of our family's fun Fall activities.  And in doing so we get to explore more of our wonderful state!  Hard to believe that we have now lived here for two years!  Time flies and we still have so much more to explore!  But we absolutely LOVE it here and are so thankful that God brought our family here to provide us with such an amazing life!
 This was the night of Jake's First Cub Scout meeting...can you tell he is a little excited!  :)
Jake and Daddy are ready to go! 
Not a great picture, but we also welcomed a new vehicle into the family!  :)  Our Corolla was about to die and so we wanted him to get a dependable new to us car.  Ryan really wanted a truck and I wanted our second car to comfortably hold the whole family...so we ended up with the Beast as I call it.  But it is a beautiful F150 and the entire family loves it! 

 One of my boys favorite things to do, build puzzles!  They are both really good at it and its a nice quiet activity in our normally very loud house :)
This boy LOVES his Paw Patrol. :)  He wanted to get a picture of the entire family.  (2 birthdays and a Christmas worth of presents from family)
 Happy AJ!  He earned a medal for his soccer game and he could not be prouder of himself!
 Working on some football skills with daddy while waiting for big brother!
 This was actually another week but Jake had his chance to earn a medal as well!
 One of our weekends we wanted to get the kids their pumpkins and also go out and have a little fun.  Someone recommended to us that we go to the Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch in Arcadia and on our way stop at Pops!  Pops is an amazing stop along Route 66 that has hundreds of different kinds of soda...some you wish you had not seen. :)  But it was a lot of fun and the boys were really excited.  They really liked the giant soda bottle out front!
Walking up to the store/restaurant.  If you look closely you can see bottles lining every inch of space in the windows.
Some of the more interesting ones.  Bacon or Ranch Soda anyone?
After a yummy lunch we arrived at the Pankhurst Pumpkin Patch!
This place was big on activities for the kids and this was their favorite.  Nothing like a bunch of the circular hay bales that you see here with a few slides attached!  :)  I think this was their favorite thing there!
King of the Hay Bale
Jake's Fort
Have to check out every area
AJ's Fort
The little pumpkin patch area.  Must admit I totally forgot to get pictures of the boys getting their little pumpkins.  :)  We had so much fun with everything else!  And afterwards we did end up picking up their big ones at Walmart.  :)
Rope Swing Monkey
Monkey see Monkey do  :)
These boys are too cute
The boys have always been large fans of basket swings
Jake chose to relax in a nice hammock
Tire Swing!
This picture does a fantastic job of capturing AJ's spirit.  Carefree and willing to try anything...along as a mascot is not involved :)
Why not try to get both boys on a tire swing? 
The boys loved running crazily through the corn maze.  We did get a little bit lost, but after cutting through a few plants we made it out.  :D
Hard to get a picture with this boy on the hayride...
...as this is all he wanted to do.  :)  He really enjoyed it and it was a very pretty ride.
Goofy guys
My big boy and me :)
Cowboy AJ
Ninjago Cowboy Jake
The boys really enjoyed this little carousel of horses that you moved by pedaling each horse.  It really was a great day to spend together as a family, have a lot of fun, and see some beautiful parts of Oklahoma that were not at all far from home!  Put us in the fall spirit!
