A Morning at the Farm!

This morning we had a spur of the moment trip to Hunter Farms.  Jen and I thought we'd take advantage of the beautiful day and let the kids play with the pumpkins and climb on the tractors.  After exploring the pumpkin patch, we ended up getting on the hayride and going to the petting zoo.  The kids were fantastic!  They had so much fun on the hayride, they tossed the hay and cheered.  

Once we got down to the petting zoo, Patrick and Finn focused on the "Big Cow" and "Baby Cow".  When they got up close, the cow "moo'd" at Finn, he jumped - and then he "Moo'd" back at the COW!  It was such a fun morning.

Jennifer took these amazing pictures of the day.  She's so talented and I'm so lucky that she captured the morning so beautifully.

Our Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch

This morning we went for our 3rd Annual Visit to the CMOM's Fall Social at Hunter Farms.  
It was a great morning complete with pumpkin picking, a hayride and petting zoo.  
We were happy that we were able to share the special morning with friends.   
Sara, Brian and Max came as our guests and we met the Weltz Family there, too!

Here is a picture of Patrick, Finn and Max on a pile of pumpkins:

Finn hunted for the perfect pumpkin and not only found one, but Lizzy, too!

Patrick kept picking pumpkins and putting them on the tractor (look to the right of the tire!)

At the petting zoo, Gill and the boys fed the sheep. I was impressed at how gentle Patrick and Finn were with them.  They loved having the animals eat out of their hands and when it was time to say goodbye to them, Finn went up to one and gently petted his head.  The kids also loved seeing the cows - the all "Moo'd" at them!
Unlike last year, the hayride was a huge success this time.  
The boys loved the ride and we we enjoyed sharing it with friends.

Happy Harvest, Everyone!

The Cure for EVERYTHING

Both the boys and I have been pretty sick lately.  
Luckily, we can all agree that we have the perfect cure right here at home... DADDY!!
