We had a gorgeous three day weekend.

We took full advantage of it by heading out to Sonny Acres.

We found out about this place when Jack’s pre-school took a field trip there. It’s still my favorite pumpkin patch. Quaint with a country feel, not as overcrowded as some of the other pumpkin farms in the area, and also less than an hour away.

You can rent these for $1.

There are kiddie rides, a hay ride, pumpkins, and the kind of food for sale that screams countryside in Illinois (corn, brats, and the like).

Hay ride full of halloween delights.

Our city boys checking out the tractor.

We packed a picnic lunch and avoided almost all the fried, processed stuff, but I couldn’t resist the funnel cakes for myself. They are my weakness.

Sam only likes to eat with a fork these days, even when it’s a sandwich.
