'09 Pictures/Update #2 - Pumpkin Farm

It's been a family tradition since AJ was born for us to go to Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm in Hampshire, IL every Fall. This year was more work, but more fun, which seems to be the theme of our lives now! We met our friend's, the Hrubec's there this year and it was fun to experience the pumpkin farm with them. We were blessed to have picked a pretty day and the sun was shining, even if it was pretty chilly. This year I walked the corn maze with AJ and let him pick a lot of the paths, which was fun, but made it long. Too long I guess, since Andy and Elizabeth were there waiting for us when we emerged...and not long afterward we had to clean up a serious diaper blow-out. Or more like a diaper overflow! Maybe that's too much TMI for some of you, but I have to say we managed well given the ground was cold and muddy and the place is, well, a FARM! Luckily the Hrubec's took over keeping track of AJ! Thanks, Jeff and Nancy!

Here are some pictures of all the fun...

Whatchu lookin' at?

AJ and Izzy, scoping out the pumpkins.

AJ and Lizzy posing for pumpkin shots. Lizzy was wearing

the pumpkin hat I made for AJ when he was a baby...

let's just say it was not so tight on her!

There's our happy little girl!

Row, row, row your boat...

"Being the boy with the yellow hat really tired me out!"

Driving the fire truck! This was AJ's favorite part of the day,

as he announced to us on our way home.

"I think we should get this one."

AJ asks for a little help, and Izzy supervises.

"No, I changed my mind. How about this one?"
