We went Pumpkin Picking with Elizabeth, Maddie, and Carter to Ramsey's Farm. The weather here has been horrible that we had to squeeze it in on a good afternoon with out our husbands. The day started out really nice then ended really windy, but we got our PUMPKINS!
Nicole found her pumpkin really quick, she know what she wanted and she got it!
Ceci on the other hand to a bit longer, but when she found it and boy was she happy!
The Vincents found one too.
Time for the Hay Ride.
Well it was a sit on a hay bale ride. It's just not a Hay ride with out throwing some hay around.
What was nice was that we got to have our hayride with a Mom's Group so we got the Farm tour not just a hay ride, so the kids enjoyed learning about what they grow on the farm.
Well since there wasn't any loose Hay on the Hay Ride we improvised! There was a pile of scattered Hay by the pumpkin patch. Fun, Fun, Fun.
Tom's thing is the Pumpkin Carving part. I don't particularly enjoy the mess. Fortunately for me my loving husband has always enjoyed it so YAY for me and YAY for my girls.
Ceci is soooo funny. Her facial expressions were hilarious.
She loves getting messy and just digging into things. Nicole is usually the neater one who sorts the contents that are coming out of the pumpkin.
They had a blast!
The final product. Ceci carved a cat and Nicole carved out a witch on a broom stick. I remember the days when Tom and I had to do the work for them. We would start out all working together and then eventually it ended up as Tom and My project. I miss those days. They feel like as if they were yesterday, but the sense of pride that they now have because they did it all on their own is so wonderful.
