Denise has a long list of places that she wants us to go before she moves...or is it my list? Anyway, I know Aplin Farms was on her list, so last week we went on the search for pumpkin shirts for Luke and the girls to wear to the pumpkin patch. And after 3 trips to Wal-mart, 2 trips to Target and 3 trips to a little shop in Headland, we didn't even get a picture of the three of them in their matching pumpkin shirts. I think the picture above is as close as we got, but I forgot to take off the bib. How cute is that? From left to right is Mary Selwyn Nichols, Luke, Owen Thompson, Anna Clare Thompson, and Adeline Nichols. (The Thompsons are in the sunday school class that Denise stole us from.)
When we got to the farm, we first went to see the animals. Luke seemed to like the cows, but he was much more interested in climbing the fence than petting any of them.
After the animals, we looked around the market then loaded up on the wagon and headed to the pumpkin patch. Luke's grandaddy will be happy to know that he loved the tractor ride! There were tons of pumpkins of all shapes, colors and sizes in the patch. We decided just to pick one up in the little market when we got back since we had so many children to hold on to. Kyle did manage to cut a pretty bouquet of sunflowers. Steve (Thompson) was very impressed that he has such a knack for creating a bouquet...
It was a big day for Luke. So tired!
Kyle didn't miss an opportunity to build a fire when we got home.
