On the farm
Mommy and Marcus hanging out with huge pumpkins
The boys all sitting on the same pumkin, but you can barely see it here...
Had to take the picture quick, as everyone was on the move
Checking to make sure this thing is strapped down tight...
Marcus knows how to keep the little brothers in line!

Ok, I know there are like 5 million pictures here, but we had such a fun time this morning at the festival and I couldn't decide what pic's to use. The boys really enjoyed seeing the baby animals which included shetland ponies, a mule, baby goats, chickens, roosters, baby rabbits, and turkeys. They had pony rides and a cute little train ride too. Marcus wasn't sure he wanted to ride it because it was kind of noisy and that bothered him...we were kind of relieved because the line for tickets looked about an hour long! So we certainly didn't press the issue...There was a biggest pumpkin contest as well, so there were trucks of HUGE pumpkins that local farmers had grown. There was a pumpkin patch too, but most people were not going in there because it was SO muddy. We really had lots of rain last night. Marcus played on hay bales and enjoyed running around with the babies. It's an unusually warm day here with a high of 90 today...though tomorrow the high is in the low 60's which is a little more the norm for this time of year. Levi and I had a great time seeing how much the boys enjoyed the outing!
