The Pumpkin Farm

Last Sunday we went to the pumpkin farm in Hartville. Steve, Chaela, and Lilly met up with us there. The farm had a little petting zoo, a giant blow-up slide, a corn kernel play area, and face painting. Grace and Ella wore their matching Halloween shirts, although I thought maybe it was a little too early in the season for them. They were just too cute, though, and I just had to put them on for the photo opportunities! (a scrapbooker always keeps photo ops and layout coordinations in mind!) After the farm, we went to Cleats to have dinner. The girls were really good at dinner. It has become somewhat of a challenge lately to take them anywhere, let alone dinner!


Grace and Ella got to pick out a giant pumpkin to put on our front porch. What a decision it turned out to be!




Jesse put Grace and Ella on top of this giant buffalo statue. The were really excited to sit up there, but they were wiggling around so much we couldn't get a pic where they were looking at me.




Grace loves to go down giant blow-up slides. She was a little apprehensive about this one at first, though. I think it was because the slide was really dark and looked a little scary for Halloween. Jesse ended up taking her up to the top and going down with her.



Ella didn't quite know what to think of the giant corn kernel play area. I had never seen anything like it before! It was like a giant sand box filled with corn kernels.



This was Grace's first time getting her face painted. Last year she wanted nothing to do with it, but she was really excited to get a "punkin" painted on her cheek.



I was so happy that we got all three kids, Lilly, Grace, and Ella, to sit still long enough for me to take a picture of them together. They all had a lot of fun and it was really nice to get out of the house on such a nice fall day!
