Pumpkin Land '09

Here it is. Pumpkin Land 2009. It's moved to a different farm this year. It was just the same only bigger with better parking. My Mom and I took Zach, Sophi, and Brylee. We wanted to bring Fina as well, but she had a soccer tournament she was competing in. The very first thing the kids did was ride tricycles. Zach only got a few feet before his handle bar came off and smacked him in the nose. He suffered from a bloody nose, on and off, the rest of the day.

This was one of Zach's favorite things to do. He made sure to ride in every cart before we left.

They had this wooden train along with trucks and other things for the kids to play on. And even Brylee could join in on the fun.

Last year they had a large slide made out of bowling alleys. They still had that only bigger this year. But I didn't get any pictures of Sophi and Zach doing that. They also had this small slide for younger kids that they enjoyed. Brylee went down a couple times on her own and loved it.

She even tried to climb back up. But got mad when she didn't succeed.

This is inside a large blown up pumpkin that they had thrown balloons inside for kids to play with. Zach had to be forced out so other kids could have a turn.

The Horse drawn carriage ride was Sophi's favorite. Brylee enjoyed climbing around on the floor and making noises when we hit bumps.

Zach and Sophi had fun in the ball pit. They would climb on the walls and jump in on top of the balls. Zach even thought it was fun to get buried by the balls.

At the end of the day we took a tractor ride to get our pumpkins. We had lots of fun, even though it was freezing by the end.

Apple Picking

We went apple picking back in September. We didn't stay long because it was cold. But we did get five bags of apples and still haven't used them all.

We let Zach climb a ladder to get some apples in the tree. He loved it of course, and didn't want to climb back down.

At first Zach just took the apples we were picking and putting them in the bag. But after we showed him how to pick the apples himself there was no stopping him.

First day of School

I'm sorry this picture is sideways. It's been so long since I've used this that I don't remember how to turn it and I'm on a time crunch.

Zach started going to Nursery School a couple of weeks ago. We thought it would be best for him to be able to socialize and get out of the house. So he goes to Busy Bear Nursery School 3 days a week. He wishes he could go every day. His teacher, Ms. Sherri, is great. She's been able to keep him involved. I don't know how she does it. Anyone who has experience trying to teach Zach anything knows that he has perfected the art of ignoring.
