Wow…July…that was my last post! There is no excuse and I’m so mad at myself because I want to use this blog to keep track of everything going on in our lives. Needless to say life has been a little crazy the past few months. Not to mention that the entire month of Sept and most of October someone, if not everyone at once, has been sick in our house. And lucky us it always hit on the weekends. Which sort of leads into this post. This past Saturday was declared “family day…meaning just out little family of four”! We had not had a fun, family weekend since honestly I don’t know when. With only one weekend left in October I really wanted us to get to a pumpkin patch before the month was over. We got up yesterday morning and headed to Jaemor Farms here in Georgia. It’s only about 30 minutes from our house. It is the best place ever. It was our first time to go, but it was highly recommended by a good friend of mine so we decided to check it out.
We got there right at 10am when they opened, which was perfect because there weren’t many people, which meant not a lot of lines! Bo saw the pumpkin train and headed straight to it…no surprise there! I’m not sure if he was more impressed by the tractor pulling it or the actual train but he loved it. Next he darted off to the apple cannon where he and daddy aimed at targets on an old school bus, he did pretty good I must say! Then it was off to a big slide, watching them setting up the petting zoo, then into the corn maze! Whew…the corn maze…very long, very confusing, but fun!! We decided to let Bo lead us through so wherever he wanted to go we’d go. At one point Jarrod and I thought we should go right and Bo wanted to go left so we decided to go mommy and daddy’s way and guess who ended up at a dead end! Bo quickly said “See...you’re not listening to my directions.” It was priceless!
After the corn maze we headed to a hayride, last but not least a pony ride, and then finally some yummy bbq lunch!!! Jaemor Farms also has a wonderful farmer’s market with a huge variety of fruits and vegetables and homemade goodies…oh my stars!!! After lunch we knew we had to try the homemade strawberry ice cream,which was just amazing, and also a fried apple pie! Diet went right out the window, but how often do we do these things?? Oh and on the way out we bought boiled peanuts and Jarrod had to have a loaf of the homemade cinnamon pecan bread OH MY STARS!!!!!!!! That alone was worth the 30 minute drive!!!!!!! It was a great day that we desperately needed!!! On another note…can you believe our baby girl is now 17 months? Where is the time going??
On a completely different note…Charlotte HAS to keep up with the boys. Saturday night we were at my uncle’s visiting with family and Charlotte saw the boys on the scooter…sure enough guess what she HAD to do! She loved it!! She is definitely going to be our dare devil…people were pushing her around on it and the faster they went the louder she squealed…Lord help us!
