Elizabeth Stone

"The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him."

Remlinger Farms

Last weekend we took the boys to Remlinger Farms (and we were joined by Aaron's friend, Pete, too!) to do the "fall festival" and pumpkin picking. It started out cool, but sunny...and then turned to rain. We were there for 4 hours and the kids had a blast, but the weather definitely put a damper on things. The kids got to do all sorts of rides and fun fall stuff, but the odd thing is that we ended up not getting pumpkins while we were there! Poor Jaxson has been sick (we recently found out he has a double ear infection & viral cold as the first round of antibiotics didn't fix it) and we didn't want the kids to be out in the rain so we went home and just got our pumpkins at the store. Hopefully next year the weather will be better, the kids won't be sick, and I'll actually get pictures of the kids at the pumpkin patch!

I am lazy this year and don't feel like carving so we are going to paint our pumpkins. I wanted the kids to be able to get into it and this way they can and I don't have to worry about them stabbing things (or themselves) with pumpkin carving tools. I'll post pictures of the pumpkin painting extravaganza later, but for now I do have the pictures from Remlinger.

Enjoy!
