We have been enjoying the fall weather! We took the boys to October Fest at Desoto Caverns. They had a hay ride, free root beer, popcorn and pumpkin fudge. Tim bought my boys tomahawks there, so they have been cutting down tree's every since! LOL! :)
Our favorite thing about October is going to the pumpkin patch at Old Bakers Farm. This year they had a birthday party for Mr. Baker celebrating his 100th birthday. There he was sitting in his rocking chair just as content and happy as anyone could be. (It reminded me of my Pappy and all his stories of his days on the farm.) Tim's sister & family met us there. The boys enjoyed spending time with Konner & Kooper. They showed Konner around like they owned the place. LOL!
My boys enjoyed all the farm animals. They got to ride a BIG horse as they called it. We watched the civil war re-enactment then later they had a shoot out on the street that seemed like you were in a old western movie. That was great! We RAN through the hay maze. My boys and their Daddy slid down the huge slide made from many bales of hay, over and over again! Picking out their pumpkins was my favorite thing. Brycen wanted the first one he saw, a pumpkin is a pumpkin to him.:) Brayden on the other hand couldn't decide? Big or small? Orange or green (or both)? Lumps or no lumps? Stem or no stem? After we walked the entire field he finally found the perfect one. :) He was happy and so was I! Of course the wagon and hay rides were a lot of fun for them too! Tim made friends with the blacksmith and he made both of my boys horse shoes with their names for free.
We loved the folk and blue grass music. Tim bought the boys harmonica's and they tried to play along with the people. LOL!
We had a great day on the farm and...I didn't have to clean any stales or bale the hay or feed the animals. *GRIN* Really though, I hope to get a place out in the country one day where my boys can run free all day because they sure did sleep good after a day at the pumpkin patch!!!
