Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to Pappy's Pumpkin Farm and had a wonderful time.  We rode the barrel cars pulled by a tractor.  Lorem rode in the Barbie car with me.  Guy rode in the Thomas Car with Brad.  Guy did not want to get out of the car.  The kids swung on tire swings, fed the fish in the pond, and went on a hay ride.  The morning was so much fun.  When we were leaving, Lorem said... "My life would be perfect if we lived here."  

We love the DEER!

My parents (Nene and Granddaddy) have a neighbor with animals.  Cows, chickens and the kids' favorite....deer.  One of the deer is tame and loves to eat apples.  Here is a picture of the kids feeding her apples.  They really love the animals.  It is great for them to experience the animals.  Some of my best memories growing up happened at my grandparent's farm.  I enjoyed those times so much. 

Fun Day at the East Texas State Fair!

Sunday we made our annual trip to the East Texas State Fair.  We really enjoy this time with the kids.  We were pleasantly surprised that Guy was just tall enough to ride the kiddie rides (he is just @ 36 inches).   Lorem was a good co-rider.  

Lorem loved the games most of all.  It was a hard lesson to learn that you don't always win.  

Can't wait to go back next year!
