Pumpkins

A few weekends ago we made it out to finally get our pumpkins! The kids had so much fun and I got some very cute pictures. Not only did they get to ride around in a wagon but Gabriel crawled thought almost the entire patch.

Wednesday Veggies

Grandma Kathy takes part in a CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) at Adams Farm Market in Hanover. It is where people get an assortment of farm fresh foods throughout the season. You pay at the beginning of the season and the money helps with costs the farmers have. Grandma Kathy gets so much stuff that she gives more than half of it to us every week! Wednesday is our veggie day and we are always excited to see what we get. So far this year I have canned tomatoes, dilly beans, dill pickles, made 2 batches of chili, eaten about 4 whole watermelons (myself), and we have some very yummy corn in the freezer for the winter. We also get 3 pumpkins this year as part of the share and Mia is very excited to go pick them out. 

Fall Festival

On Saturday we had our very first playdate (that we could make it to) with the Mom & Tot group that I joined back in April. My friend LeeAnn is a member and she is the one that got me interested. Anyway it started at 10:30 and guess what, I didn't leave the house until almost 11:20. Gabriel had a lot of fun for the hour he lasted (cutting into nap time mom!). 

After the playdate we went to Grandma Kathy's to go to the Fall Festival in Hanover. Mike had a conference call so he stayed behind and was going to meet us. The best part was Gabriel got to take his first tractor pulled wagon ride. The festival is held at Heritage Park a plot of 82+ acres of farmland that the Hanover-Horton community raised funds to buy. The tractor pulled us around the fields of corn and soy beans, Gabriel loved every minute of it.
