Pumpkin Farm 2010

This morning we went to the Pumpkin Farm. We were meeting some friends there at 9:00a. Of course this is the one Saturday where both kids were still sleeping after 7:00a. I actually had to wake them up for breakfast. (I thought long and hard about NOT going. I was exhausted.)

But we went and it was a beautiful October morning. The sky was a perfect blue with just a few wisps of clouds in the sky. It reminded me of why I live in Arizona.


The kids ran over to the hay maze and started walking through it. Tyler took the lead and NyCee was close behind him.

At some point, NyCee got in front of Tyler and decided to jump over the hay in an attempt to exit. Looking back, I should have used that instances as a teachable moment for the kids. Not to cheat or cut corners just to try and finish something. (Of course, I did not have that conversation with them at the time. )

After a light snack, the kids played in a big pile of hay. At one point, NyCee started saying, "Jump Tyler. C'mon!"

The kids selected pumpkins to decorate. We spent a few minutes doing that and then went on a tractor ride.

Tyler was exhausted and fell asleep in the car. We came home, at lunch, took baths and showers. Now, we are just chilling waiting until it's time to get ready for church to start.
