Pumpkins!!!

We went to a cool apple/pumpkin farm today. It was a really neat place and we had a ton of fun! They had a little petting zoo and Benjamin was cute petting all the animals (not scared at all) and then would declare, "Mine pet him! Mine pet him!" over and over!


They took a barn and turned it into this giant homemade slide....it was really fast (and dark) and Benjamin loved it! He went right back and went down it again! He's becoming so brave!


Daddy and Anna in the bamboo maze. The bamboo was growing kind of low, so Dave had to keep ducking Anna down so her head wouldn't run into the leaves and she laughed every time. Such a happy girl!


Benjamin in front of a pretty little waterfall. They had a little lake that had a couple cool bridges you could walk over.


The "apple of my eye"!!!


And the "apple of my other eye"!!! (Goodness, I'm corny!)


Benjamin LOVES buses right now, so he was tickled when I took this picture. He points out every bus he sees and has told me a zillion times that he rode a bus to the football game last weekend! So cute how little minds remember!


We got to go into a pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkins! Here's Benjamin trying to pick the first one he saw! :) He was really cute in his selection. These were deal breakers for him: "have bugs on it"; "have dirt on it"; "too heavy"; or "have hole in it".


Doing his best to lift the pumpkin Dave helped him pick out (of which he eventually declared to be "too heavy").......


Pleased with his final selection (of which he picked out completely on his own)!!!


I found an itty, bitty one for Anna in their store......

I also got some apples, preserves, apple butter, and Benjamin got a gourd to add to his collection and a surprisingly yummy apple cider slushy!

Afterwards, we drove downtown and went to a cool festival they had with all kinds of different foods and crafts from different countries. They had a really good band and Benjamin of course boogied down!


Anna had fun watching all the people and "going for a ride" in the sling! Her favorite though was (as always) watching her brother!


What a fun day! I love fall!!!!!!
