This past weekend we got invited to go to a family farm and look through their pumpkin patch for some pumpkins. The boys were super excited to go check it out. Colton was especially excited because he is all about tractors and any kind of heavy machinery! The pumpkin patch was HUGE and had some HUGE pumpkins in it! We came home with 6 very very large pumpkins and lots of little pumpkins and gourds to decorate the house and outside with. After we picked out the biggest and best pumpkins they had cider and donuts for everyone. It was a lot of fun!
Erica, Colton, and Dylan in the pumpkin patch...Zachary did not go with us. Im afraid he is getting too old to think this stuff is cool anymore :(
After we got done down at the pumpkin patch, we headed back up towards the barns. This family grows a ton of potatoes and sells them to different restaurants and companies. They took us into one of the barns that they store potatoes in, I was blown away at the amount of potatoes inside! This barn was 100 ft long and 12 ft high. It was FULL from floor to ceiling with potatoes! This picture doesn't even begin to do it justice. It was amazing to me to see that many potatoes. Of course the boys thought it was really cool too. The people gave each of the boys a potato bag and told them they could pick out the potatoes they wanted to take home. SO COOL!
These are ALL potatoes!!
Derek and I took the boys to the mall on Monday after school and decided to stop into the Halloween stores to check out the costumes and decorations. Derek couldn't resist trying on some of the wigs! The boys and I did not try any on...we don't want lice! Derek has no hair so it didn't matter to him! The boys and I got a kick out of seeing him in the different wigs.
Believe it or not, Derek had an afro when he was in high school. His hair is naturally very curly.
He wishes he could grow a mullet this cool!
The side view is even better ...so handsome!
