It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

Well today was the day I had been promising the kids. We made it to the corn maze and pumpkin patch. I really had forgotten what it was like to take children to an open area where they can run. Without alternate adult supervision (i.e.-Jaesen!) I found myself to be in a constant race. I still haven't figured out what exactly I was racing but it involved children, tractors, mazes, cow trains, pumpkins and corn. I did get to sit down exactly twice, and once was even on a nice swing that they had in the middle of the farm. I could sort of keep one eye on Jack in the corn pool, and one eye on Tristan on the pedal cars and Savannah and I just sat and sat and sat, swinging in the shade. The other time involved a little cow train which I literally had to squeeze myself into and to get out, Tristan had to hold Savannah so I could unwedge myself from Bessie! Savannah loved the hay, she touched it, sat in it, tasted it, and examined it. She even picked out some pumpkins for herself. All in all it was a pretty good day but I was sure glad when we left. And just think next year Savannah will be running around too!
