From pumpkins...to apples!

Since the weather cooperated and it was nice on Sunday as well, we took a trip over to Kerchers Orchard in Goshen for the Fall Fest. 

Mommy and Daddy were very excited for this trip considering how much fun we had at Knollbrook Farm but as you can tell by the look on my face, I was a little concerned for our safety:

Ever the daredevil, I decided to participate anyway and was soon on my way to finding my very own "big girl pumpkin":

While waiting to ride back to the orchard (another hay ride!!!) I had another one of my good (although sneaky) ideas:

Pretty soon I had Uncle Jesse working for me and I just said "keep them coming!":

And keep coming they did!  Dad kept saying I was "eating the profits" whatever that means:

I may not know all those fancy phrases Daddy uses, but I do know that I had another fun day!:

I've gotta have my fun while I'm young...pretty soon I'll be 2!

Family Fun at the "Pumpkin Patch"

We took advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend and headed out to a local "pumpkin patch."  Eden was able to enjoy this trip much more than her last time at a "patch":

Our destination was Knollbrook Farm in New Paris:

What a fun place we discovered it to be.  We didn't even realize until we got there that Eden would be able to:

Take a hay ride:

See some livestock (real and manmade):

Go through a straw maze:

And of course...pick pumpkins:

What do you mean I only get one?!?:



Cause I'm getting good at this pumpkin picking thing:

But maybe the funnest thing at Knoolbrook Farm was the 50 Foot Slide!  I went down once with Mom and about 5 times all by myself!:

We had a wonderful time at the "pumpkin patch" and I know that the next time I go to one, I'll bring some friends!

It's That Time of Year...

Been real busy trying to get the crops in but I wanted to let everyone know that I'm doing alright!

I think we missed some over yonder...time to get back to work.

*Editor's note:  Eden wasn't driving the farm equipment, she was mostly navigating.  She left the hard stuff to her good pal Jamin :)

Some Kids Like Toys "R" Us...

But you can have just as much fun at Lowe's:

Until Daddy gets tired of chasing you and saying "no."  Then you get stuck in the cart...:

All in all, a very fun time I would say.

Where can a girl....???

See a lot of cows:

Drive a combine:

Go fishing:

Feed a horse:

And a goat:

And get hugged by a giant Somethingorother:

Here's where:

Thanks Mom and Dad for taking me.  I had a wonderful time!!!

See Dad, It Might Happen Again

You've just got to keep believing!

I Love Parades Soooooo Much....

That I decided to be in one!!!

A big thank you to my Aunt Elyse for inviting me to join her and some co-workers in the Marshall County Blueberry Festival Labor Day Parade.  I was part of the Local Coordinating Council / Drug Free Group and I took the opportunity to tell other children my age and younger that you can be cool without using drugs!  Check out some pics of the shirt Mommy made for me to wear and of me in the parade.  I'll be honest, I pretty much just sat there.  But the video documentary made by Daddy at the end shows that I really had fun!

Very excited before the parade to see all of the Dum Dums



Riding like a good little girl and I didn't fuss one bit, not even when I saw my cousins, grandparents, and parents!

And debriefing afterwards with another snack!

I think Mommy has found another way to keep Daddy coming to parades....put me in them!
