Walter & I took three of the grandchildren to a nearby pumpkin farm that has opened its gates to the community for several years now.
This trip is probably best chronicled by just showing the pictures we took. The children had a swell time in the newly added activity area.

Back in 2006 we also took the only four grandchildren we had to the farm. Let's take a look back. That trip was a free outing except for a couple of dollars for a tractor pulled hayride that spanned about three acres of the farm. The big attraction for the children was the grain bins. We watched for an hour as the grain was poured from one container to another container, all by kid power!

It was a simpler time in 2006. The farm area had an animal petting area. It was not as commercial as the farm is today. The activity area was not developed then. Today it costs $4.00 to enter. Several attractions with separate prices have also been added. On the Sunday we went it was crowded so seeing it all was harder. Our grandchildren and us had a good time. We were tired more this time.
In 2006 we had food at home before we went to the farm. Here is a quick look at the table we had.

In 2006 we made homemade treats to serve the family. Sunday we just went to McDonald's. Yeah, I guess everything changes with time, including our energy level. I am not complaining. We still had a glorious time together.
God is good!
looked like a fun day.
