I am a wee bit behind on posts (shocker!).
For our annual pumpkin pickin fun, we decided to go to Lyon Family Farm instead of Tate Farm. They have all the fun stuff Tate's has without the huge crowds (we always go on a Saturday so Chris can come with). It was so, so, so much fun! It was awesome to watch the kids this year. Both of them were so into everything. I {heart} watching them explore and learn new things. Noah plows head first into everything, trying to absorb as much fun as possible. Eden is a bit more cautious, especially when it comes to interacting with people she doesn't know. But, once she determines that you meet her standards, she can tend to like you to death. Case in point, at first Eden ignored this little girl, pretending she wasn't there. By the end of their time in the bouncy thing, the poor thing was hiding from E in an effort to avoid yet another hug.
We tackled all the usual pumpkin patch fun. We went on the slides,
We climbed every imaginable surface we could find,
We swam in corn,
We petted the animals, although Noah kept telling me that he had this animal or that animal on his farm, aka, Aunt Dawn's farm.
In typical Eden form, at first she stood back, observing. When she deemed it safe, she dived right in, loving the bunnies and the kitties. Poor things.
The kitties were definitely the favorite. Too bad mom is crazy allergic.
We rode the cow train,
and 'horsies',
We strolled,
And jumped on mattresses,
(and, no, I did not let myself even begin to think about what all was on/in that mattress. Shutter.)
we slid and swung some more,
And, finally, we took the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch and picked ourselves some 'punkins'.
About halfway back from the patch we realized that Noah's pumpkin had a soft spot. Um...gross. We told him he could pick one from the little store they had there. He was not happy. He was very attached to that rotten punkin. So, like the good parent I am, when he was distracted I conveniently 'lost' his pumpkin. Oh, the devistation! But, not to worry. His fickle affections where soon directed at something a little younger and cuter.
Typical male.
What a great day!

Noah is for Eden like Christian is for Savannah. Meaning - Noah and Christian love life, plow through things, experience every ounce of any given situation. Eden and Savannah are more reserved, apprehensive, but braver because they see their brothers do things and then let their guards down and have fun. Love it!! The tees turned out so cute!
We went to Lyon Farm last year and really liked it. Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to the pumpkin patch this year.. didn't really think about it before our trip to Jamaica and then we just didn't have time after we got back. The story about Noah and his younger, cuter pumpkin cracked me up!
