A day with the pumpkins




















What a day we had!!! After getting the call that our carpet layer wouldn't be coming for two weeks, we decided that we'd pick up Grandma Fank and meet Chad's sister, Nikki, and their little girl, Hailey and go to a pumpkin farm. We had MORE fun that day! We spent close to an hour and a half trying to get through the corn maze - mostly because the three girls were determined we were going to find all of the mailboxes to punch our papers so they could get their free treat! Kale was such a trooper and was very content to just pick up fallen corn stalks and carry them around - he's such a farm kid. He walked the WHOLE time because I told him I would not be carrying him, and even though he would ask me to carry him now and then, he didn't fuss when I told him no...he just kept on truckin'! They also had a petting zoo there, so we pet the animals and let the kids play and enjoy their treats before we picked out pumpkins. Once us "adults" picked out our pumpkins, we let the kids pick theirs and we honestly all ended up coming home with more pumpkins than there were bodies!! It was a beautiful day though and it wore everyone out. Even though I poked Kale in the eye with the pumpkin stem, he was asleep within about 4 miles of the pumpkin farm!!
