so we arrived in california late friday evening, and saturday we went straight to bishop’s pumpkin farm.  one of my favorite things to do as a kid, i knew that we would go atleast twice while we were there.  on this trip, mimi (my mom) gave the kids a choice between a pony ride, or face painting…eli and nomi chose the ponies.  can you get over how proud she is?  and look at that wave…watch out heather, you might have a 4H queen on your hands ;)

my handsome cowboy…

the before picture of emma and dylan before they got painted…so clean and innocent, and then…

watch out!  spiderman was out to get everyone with his webs.  please look at his little face.  can’t you hear the sound effects with his little lisp?

then mimi got them all carmel apples… well, nomi just wanted ice water.  just look at how my children are gazing at the beautiful, colorful, little droplets of candy covered chocolates, stuck to the ooey-gooey carmel that has been poured over a nice big juicy apple…

apparently spiderman doesn’t eat apples.  only candy, and carmel that is stuck to apples…

emma is giving them the what for…i love how that girl moves ;)  note: her moon and bats with glitter painting…

here they are with the gazing again…

we finally got them to give up the apples for some play time.  but playing in the toy train isn’t near as fun as playing ON the toy train.  boys…

and this was only take one.
