YEAH!! It's fall

Well this past weekend on Saturday we went to a place close to us called Hillridge Farms. I think that was the name. It was in Youngsville, NC which is right down the road. Our friends Steve and Jennifer and their crew, Carson, Campbell and Madeline came down to go to the farm. It was a fun time. The kids loved it. Next time we will have to go a little earlier so we can do more of the things offered. I'm going to post some pictures so you can see all the fun we had. It was a beautiful day.





This was just outside the entrance. It was cute so we took a picture. You will see where we took some other pictures here later in the post.



This was a cool maze. The kids and should I say Steve had fun in it.
This was a little duck race. You put this little duck in the pipe and you had to pump the water and see who's duck got around the pipe first. The kids were so funny. I also should put here that I beat Dale. 2 to 1
Caleb wasn't interested in the water part, but he loved to chew on the duck.
This was the train coming in to pick us up. The kids couldn't wait.


These next couple of shots was me trying to get all the kids in the picture and actually look in the same direction at the camera. Impossible!! But we know they were all there.




Here is Caleb and Daddy. He was having a great time!

Here is this long tunnel slide that the kids would have stayed on all day if we let them. The adults I would say were done after a few trips up the LONG hill. Caitlyn had no fear she went right up the hill and down the slide.
Here is Caleb and Madeline at the bottom waiting for everyone to come out the big black hole.




Dale and Chloe coming out the slide. It took a couple of times before Chloe went by herself. Once she did ,she did not want to stop.


Here is a good daddy climbing up the hill for the 20th time. :) This was a corn playhouse they played in. It was just a lot of hulled corn. They loved it. Here they are burying Carson in the corn.Steve even got in on the fun.
Steve, Carson and Campbell.





Here we are on the hayride.

Here is Caleb and Dale. Caleb was so fascinated with everything around us.

This is us going into the forest. The kids were all looking on as if something was going to pop out at them.Caleb on the other hand just sat back and enjoyed the breeze and scenery.

He didn't want to get off the wagon when we got to the pumpkin patch.


The kids all went running to pick out their favorite pumpkin!

Here they are amongst the pumpkins. It was such a cute site.Jennifer, Campbell and Madeline pose for a picture while on the hayride.


Caitlyn was so funny. Madeline spit up while holding her. Her face was so funny.


Here they are carrying their pumpkins back to the wagon. Look closely and see Caitlyn carrying her own pumpkin. How strong!The kids were all about done by this point. They were tired of pictures and were hot and thirsty.The Lloyd family: Steve, Carson with Madeline, Campbell and Jennifer


Here is our family. I thought I would put a picture of us all in. Just to prove I was there.

Here are the kids after church yesterday. The girls are wearing their dresses grandma made them. Caleb was a hoot.

Here are the girls with their tattoos. They look so tough. Watch out world, here they come!




We had gone over to some friends house, The Gunnells last week for dinner. Here are the girls after playing a princess game. Vivian is in the white shirt, then Chloe and Caitlyn. They had a blast!


Well I know this has been a long blog, but I know you will enjoy seeing the pictures of the kids. Later I am going to try to post a video. I have to figure that out first. Caleb finally has starting walking this week. YEAH!!
