scenes from the farm.

today we headed out to the pumpkin patch....the kiddos thoroughly enjoyed it (even the sullen, teenage-angst-filled one LOL) here are some shots from the day.


corn, corn, as far as the eye can see....


running through the hay maze.


children of the corn.


punching their cards....


this guy was SO sweet; i wanted to sneak him out in the back of our truck.


austin feeding him an apple.


this guy was cute too....but he seriously needs a visit to the dentist. (and orthodontist.)

this is as much picture-taking-cooperation as i can get from him.

hunter farms.

today we went to hunter farms with some friends. we'd never been down there before but had heard lots of great things about it so we decided to check it out. we were not disappointed. they have a really cool hay maze inside of a huge barn that the kids played in forever, with a slide at the end where you come out. there were animals to see, pet and feed (and sometimes throw hay at) and yummy food to eat and pumpkins to pick and tractors to ride.










nothing quite says "sexy" like a big daddy wearing a puppy backpack :D
