Harvest time fun

sharing has it's limits....

Brother's keeper in the corn bin

We went to Valla's Pumpkin Patch for a home schoolers day.  We got an admission discount that included a small pumpkin, train ride and a class on apples.  Vallas is a huge disneylandish pumpkin patch that has expanded in the many years it has been going.... lots of different haunted houses, games, rides,mazes, pig races, shows, and activities on a farm now dedicated just to the pumpkin patch.  We spent about 5 hours there and saw just over half the stuff there

Sean and Issac

We ate lunch and then headed as a group of 4 families to the apple class.  In the education room I sat in front with the boys and Rachael was in the rear with the younger children.  About 10 minutes into the class I had a panic..... are all Rachael's children her amid the others..... Where was 7 year old Sean?     He wasn't with us.  I quickly got out of my seat, told Rachael and went off looking for Sean.   I walked down a hill a ways and there he was in a cross road, just standing there.  He didn't look like he was lost.... just waiting.

  The first thing he said is "I knew you would come, grandma because I prayed"

I told him how proud I was he stayed put in the cross road.  He was a little embarrassed, he took a side track through a short haunted house and that is how he became lost.  I asked him how long it I take me to find him after his prayer...... about 10 minutes.
