A Fall Day on the Farm

We drove out to Cherry Crest Adventure Farm for our 2010 pumpkin picking. This is one of my annual favorites and I was a little disappointed to find the farm a bit intense and commercialized. It didn't have the relaxed, fall-time feel to me. Jared and I chatted about missing Bishop's Pumpkin Patch in CA and exploring a new farm next year, but it was a beautiful fall day, with lovely weather and countryside, we had some good fun and brought home 3 great big pumpkins. Hurray for fall farm day! : )


The kids. : )








Both Ben and Hannie were so happy and excited to hold the baby chicks.
 Ben loved! seeing this old Steam Engine barrel through.
 Brave kids! 
They slid down the big slide, on burlap sacks, with Daddy. : ) 


 View from the Hay Ride. 
Beautiful, rolling farm country and a great big sky.

Cutest little threesome in the whole hay wagon! : )






 I spy a pumpkin patch! 








Our little tough guy. 
He did not want to hear that maybe that pumpkin was a little big for him. 
He was determined. He ended up spraining his wrist!! (seriously) in the effort,
 but there is no job, or pumpkin, too big for a determined 3-year-old Benjamin Enoch! : )
 Sweet Cinderella picking her pumpkin! : )
Hannah is always so careful about pumpkin choosing. It has to be just the right one.








Hannah Mae and our littlest pumpkin. : )
He LOVED being in the wagon with the big kids!
