When I realized that we had a four-day weekend coming up for the kids, I decided that we needed to take one day and just have fun as a family. So, we went to this amazing pumpkin patch about an hour from our town. And here is what we did:
Rainbow of gourds
This outing was hugely successful and full of tons of popcorn, lemon shakeups and ice cream. And it was worth every dime we spent to spend some time together that involved no therapy, no homework and no worries about autism or SPD!

I love it!! And isn't amazing how they become more themselves (for lack of a better term) when all the stressors are removed? Makes me realize how much they have to deal with at school and how much they really need breaks like this. Well done mama!!!
GREAT POST! I love the photos and it looks like a great time was had by all :) You ALL deserved a break!
And when you figure out how to make your dollars stretch, let me know. I'm kind of stressed about that too.
I have to admit, I miss the pumpkin patch- it is such a sensory delight for my little seeker. Sounds like it is for your little ones too. Exploring a new place is always good for my family too, which is a very good thing considering our circumstances. :)
I just came over from the BoB to check out your post! I LOVE your graphics! Precious children and what seems like a great time! Thanks for sharing! -Emily Ash of Where's Erma? www.whereserma.com
Great post. There is nothing better than getting away from the stress of it all and taking the family to a fun place. Life is too short and stressful and taking time like you did with your family leaves lasting memories. Thanks for sharing.
