we went to the pumpkin farm with eli’s class on thursday.

of course we had fun! the pumpkin farm is one thing i don’t think i can live without. i don’t think that i’ve gone a fall without a trip to the pumpkin farm my whole life.

it’s a must:)

and i love seeing my boys enjoy it, too! this is part one, because eric and i will take the boys this weekend. i can’t wait!

so here are some memories from thursday:

my handsome eli…i mean seriously…

feeding the animals…

going through the hay bale maze…

my handsome dylan…. i mean seriously…again…

checking out the merchandise…

dylan found his real quick…

eli’s teacher, miss virginia, has a rule that the kids have to be able to carry their own pumpkin out of the field and to the car. what is the experience if they just point to one, and mom or dad carries it for them. i completely agree.

so i was wondering how it would go when eli was telling everyone that he was

“going to get a pumpkin that was bigger than a grown up”.

well…he carried this one about 3/4 of the way out of the feild to the tractor.

and finally put it down after much struggle.once it was down, he turned around and picked up almost the first one he saw. a more appropriately sized pumpkin.

i just love mister dylan’s expression here:)

and here:)
