In search of the Great P*mpkin

I will start this by saying, this is a long one. Not due to my wordiness but due to the volume of pictures. I took 80 shots of a 2 hour event, I have a problem I think. haha My kids are just too photogenic. :) Well, we started our outing with a picnic with our Home School crew. The kids ran around and explored the surroundings. My kids were so excited to see the Pumpkins they were jumping and running with anticipation. Here is a shot I took of us. I told the kids to look at the camera and get their heads in the screen. I think they did an excellent job considering those screens are SOOO hard to see when in the sunlight. I wish I knew HC's head was so hidden. Oh well. Here we are waiting for our turn in the Petting Farm. JB is distracted by a Bumble Bee flying near him.
Here is HC laughing due to the Rooster crowing. JB is still thrilled looking at the last animal he just saw.
JB - "Can I hold the bunny?" Ask and you shall receive! :)
Notice the sign labeled Donkey, last time I checked that big brown thing is a cow!

A hay bail maze! Thanks to a big helper as their guide. The kids loved the maze.
A portion of our Home School group.
Here is a pic of us on the hay ride. We are off to see the GREAT P*mpkin Charlie Br*wn!
HC found a white pumpkin that was a MUST have! She was so proud of her find. She is getting so big!
Here they are with their finds!
We finished our adventure with a lesson on the cotton fields. We even picked some cotton for a local project (like a quilt or something). They let us take a boll of cotton home. What an adventure.
HC said, "This was the best field trip ever. I had so much fun." We stopped for a milkshake on our way home. Their reward for being such troopers!!
Obviously JB was worn out. They started the day at 5:30 am and I think he was past tired! He fell asleep 3 times while drinking his milkshake. We had to call his name so that he didn't drop it. I hated startling him, but I would have hated MILKshake on my floorboard more!
Great family fun!! This week was jam packed with activity. I will catch you up on our adventures next week!

What a great trip! The photos are great. The kids really look like they are having a fun time. Love JB sleeping with the shake. There is just so much fun a little guy can have in one day :)

Ole Miss - yes I was driving taking the last shot of JB. The one of the 2 of them, we were stopped int the parking lot. The one of him falling asleep, we were at a light. haha

By the way, I didn't keep that new camera. I didn't want to spend the money on the new memory cartridges when I had so many for my current one. We just bought a new battery. :)

I love the pictures - you and the kiddos are so gosh darn cute!

I would have preferred cotton CANDY afterwards, but it sounds like it was a nice time!
