Pumpkin Patch Train ride

Way back on October, we took advantage of a friday off school and headed up to the pumpkin patch train that the Grand Canyon Railroad puts on every year.  It was super last minute, but luckily Carly was up for it and she met us there.  It was so fun to be able to hang out with them for a few hours.  We miss them so much!

of course we had to make a pit stop at Westside Lilo's in Seligman for lunch.

 it was yummy as ever!  The kids were bummed that the table under the elk was taken though.

My Hannah was so helpful- she entertained the little kids and had such a great attitude the entire time.  I'm sad that she is growing up so fast, but so happy with the fantastic person she is growing into!

Sparkle was so fun!  She loved the train!! 

All Aboard!

the train ride was about 20 min (slowly) and stopped at a "pumpkin patch" where everyone could get out and choose a pumpkin to bring home

Sparkle wanted all the pumpkins- it was tough to choose just one!

Lucky for her, big sister was there to help her!

Phew! Finally :)

Seriously- she loved her pumpkin and wanted to carry it everywhere

Becca boo and Sparkle with their pumpkins

My burgess babies (except Zach who had to work)

 Once everyone had claimed their pumpkins, it was time to board the train again and head back to the station

There was a fun hay maze back at the station, and a haunted train car that a couple of my kiddos were brave enough to try- I was not!

It was a fun day trip and I'm super thankful we decided to try it out.

And of course, Becca and Logan were thrilled to spend a little time together.  These long distance relationships are so tough! lol 

Thanks Youngs, for meeting us there! We miss you so much!
