Pumpkin Patch 2010

-
This morning we headed to Waterman's Pumpkin Patch. It is a sunny, cool fall day and just perfect for the pumpkin patch. I had organized a trip with a group of coworkers and their children two weeks ago, but Sam hurt his leg. He has been looking forward to the pumpkin patch since then!

Today, they had the pony rides open and Sam was eager to ride one. He picked the white pony and really enjoyed himself. He wanted to know if it would buck him off, I assured him it wouldn't:)


Andrew also wanted to ride. Andrew really likes animals of all kind and enjoyed his ride around the arena as well!! He threw a mini-fit when we had to leave the pony ride area!!
The boys measured themselves again this year. I will post some pictures from our previous pumpkin patch visits for some comparison.
They also offered the pumpkin dizzy ride. Sam rode it twice, I wanted to throw up just watching it:) I tried to get some pictures when the other kids loaded up and they were spinning around, but they didn't turn out very well. Then we loaded up on the hayride to pick out some pumpkins.

Sam and his prize pumpkin.
Andrew and his prize pumpkin:)I am so thankful the boys and I were able to go to the pumpkin patch this morning. The boys enjoyed running around, picking out pumpkins, feeding animals and watching the dinosaur eat big pumpkins! Fall is so fun!!

Today was the first day of cross country season for the Junior High team.  The thing about XC is that the work is put in during the summer months with early morning runs, afternoon runs, track workouts, and hill repeats.  All that work starts to become evident during these days when the races start. Jacob woke up feeling excited to get the season started.  Abigail work up at 5:48am to fix her hair and get ready for the bus.  Abram was pretty nervous as he woke up. 5th grade girls The kids ran their hearts out and did so well for the first meet. Jacob placed 2nd for his team and 3rd overall to help the boys varsity team clutch 1st place for Varsity Boys team.  Abigail looked strong and had an overall 4th place finish for the JV girls and placed 2nd for her team. Abram looked blocked it at the beginning but certainly made up for it with a strong ending to finish 1st place in the JV boys race. Let's go Tigers!

On Saturday, Nathan, Heather and Caleb came for a visit.  We had an absolutely beautiful day, and we wanted to spend the day outside.  Some people had recommended Maymont Park.  Maymont is a park that is hundreds of acres with a stone castle and barn, some animals, and lots of space for the boys to run around. Andrew wanted to get his boots wet and Aunt Heather supervised.  I am glad we crated more boots! The walk with beautiful and we enjoyed visiting along the way. There was lots of rock climbing... and lots of goats! Jacob and Caleb did a great job riding around in the strollers, but needed some time to stretch too! I love this picture of Nathan and Caleb.  He is such a great daddy and I love to see him with Caleb. Sam enjoyed a cigar at the park too.  (I joke!) The little babies ate some grass. Andrew found the cows and wanted to pet them. Sam, Andrew, Nathan and Hap found a great rock to jump off of.  Sam was fearless and surprised u...
