The boys and I went to Black Island Farm with my parents & Lauren & Rebecca. It was really fun to take a hay ride out to the pumpkin patches and pick your own pumpkin right off the vine. Lex was disappointed that he forgot to take a tape measure. He wanted to get a pumpkin that was at least two feet big. Jonny & Grandpa LJ walked all the way across the field on a search for the BIGGEST pumpkins...and found them. I selected a pumpkin that was perfectly round & just the right size for carving a jack-o-lantern.
After we found our pumpkins, the the boys went down the grain-chute slide and played on the hay-slides. And--- just like TYPICAL boys, they were both bleeding within 5 minutes of hitting the play ground. Somehow Jonny got a piece of straw under his fingernail and his finger was bleeding. As soon as I dealt with Jonny's bleeding, Alex came down a slide and hit his face. He almost bit through his lip. Luckily they are both big enough that they didn't cry.
After a pizza dinner, homemade rootbeer, and freshly fried donuts, we walked the corn mazes. This year's theme was the same as last year... TWILIGHT (the Stephenie Meyers series). The weather was gorgeous...blue sky & 80-degrees!!! Enjoy pictures of our fun day!!!
