Dewberry Farms - Take II

Our sweet friends, the Patton's, planned a fun day for several families at Dewberry Farms. Marlie was so excited to take her brother and show him all the fun things.  Matt's friends Caden and Micah came and the boys had SO much fun!!  Marlie had partied hard the night before at Nene's house and woke up at 6:00am so she was dragging but still managed to crack a few smiles. 

We started with the corn blasters.  The kids shot corn out of these machines trying to hit the targets.  The boys LOVED it! 
Then it was off to the giant slide...Marlie decided to try it this time too!
Then it was off to the Pumpkin Holler where it was very dark and inside there were hundreds of carved pumpkins.  The kids liked it so much that they had already convinced the lady to let them go in again before we even came out!! 

We found Micah and the boys had fun swinging on ropes into bales of hay.  Then we headed for these swings!

Then we headed over to the zip line which I think was the most fun...at least fun watching.  The kids loved it and Dad did it too!  Marlie wanted so bad to do it by herself but Dad stayed close just in case. I could have watched them go back and forth all day with those huge smiles on their faces!

Matt actually said rolling in this thing was his favorite.  Marlie tried it and wasn't too excited so she decided to get out and push with Coach Joel. The boys were tumbling around in there like laundry in the dryer and they were laughing so hard the entire time.  I can't imagine that was fun??
Are you tired yet?  We were but the boys kept going!  Then it was off to the jumping pillows which are like trampolines. Marlie was a little scared she would get bounced off so it was probably better that she opted for a break.   
From here the boys raced on the tricycles.  I'm pretty sure Caden made it around the track twice the number of times Matt and Micah did. 
While the boys raced, Marlie enjoyed a bubble gum snow cone that was bigger than her!
Finally we took a little break and boarded the big wagon for our ride out to the pumpkin patch! Marlie was excited to find Lyla!

We meticulously picked our pumpkins (again) and loaded them in the wheel barrow.  Matt and Caden had fun running through the patch and playing pumpkin soccer with a poor pumpkin. 
These Dads are not dipping...I promise it's sunflower seeds!! 
We tried to get all the kids together for a picture but it was like herding cats.  I thought this was cute of Marlie and Lyla.
Although we were exhausted Marlie wanted to show Matt the awesome corn maze and Dad wanted to go too.  So off we went.  This time I knew the trick so we were out in 5 minutes and everyone thought it was still fun. 
What a fun day!  Matt could barely walk back to the car he was so exhausted and Marlie definitely had to be carried.  Thanks Gayle for planning this!
