KC Pumpkin Patch

So Derek was accepted to work on a two-week case somewhere in Iowa and we decided to take advantage of a couple weeks spent with family. We packed up the car, dogs and toddler on Friday and drove all the way to KC. Since my job is ubber flexible and lets me work from wherever, I'm just working here in KC while both grandma's take turns watching Drew. Nice deal, right? Yeah, I feel pretty lucky sometimes. The drive went really well and the girls were MUCH better than they were when we drove home last September. (Confession: I may or may not have given them an extra dose of meds to calm them down). Drew was a pretty good traveler, thanks in part to the iPad, and overall the drive went fairly quick.

We debated on pushing through the last 3 hours of the 13 hour drive, but it would have taken us to 3am and we just couldn't do it. We landed in KC about 10:30 Saturday and have enjoyed spending time with both families as well as a quick 'date' to go see a movie.

As much as I enjoy just relaxing and laying around in our childhood homes with our families, I do enjoy getting out and experiencing adventures with Drew. On Sunday we ventured to the Pumpkin Patch with my parents and although it was really windy, we had a good time. Drew enjoyed another hayride of the season as well as touching and see animals, going down slides and picking pumpkins with Gramma and Poppa.

I'm sure everyone is tired of pumpkin patch pictures, but I had to get mine up! It's such a symbolic fall outing for our families and I look forward to the kettle corn each year! Oh yeah, and three cheers for Drew looking at the camera for a family shot!
