Spring has sprung...

Hayden is out of town for the weekend and Brent is working on the remodel (he kicked me out), so I went out on this beautiful day and got a glimpse at Spring!
Hopefully tomorrow I will have some progress pictures to share...

I think this one is my favorite...lillypad

Our Fall-filled weekend....

actually began on Friday night with a trip to the school Halloween Carnival! Kayla (Hayden's dearest friend who does so much with us she is like our other daughter), Hayden and Pete all dressed up in their costumes and had a blast!
Saturday Morning, we all got up and went to a nearby farm for their Fall festival! This is a picture of the strawberries that they have already planted for an April harvest!
One of the first things we did was take a horse and buggy tour of the farm and the tour guide let Hayden come up and drive the team.

Next, we took a hay ride out to the back of the farm and did 1.5 mile corn maze. We had a lot of fun.
While we waited on the tractor to come back and get us from the corn maze, Pete had to make a pit stop.
A boys dream......a combine!
It was only slightly large....
The last stop we made was another hayride to the pumpkin patch....Cal found one!
The group with their pumpkins!
Oh...what sweet faces!
Hayden decided that after we found our pumpkins that she needed a gourd.

Saturday night, we took the kids down to the gardens for the YMCA haunted trail! Pete is showing some brotherly love or maybe what he learned on the trail....sorry Molly!

The start of a special treat....

On Sunday, Brent carved all the kids pumpkins. This is his greatest love...carving pumpkins!
I will post the final result in another post...so we can play the guessing game! :-)

Cash Crop #3....

Does this give it away?

I almost missed getting pictures of this before it was to easy...guesses?

We even have a museum for it....

Cash Crop #2...

I think this is another tough one....who knew?

Memaw was right...soybeans!

Cash Crop #1....

We live in a very rural part of the state and with that comes lots of farming and cash crops. Since this is the time of year when harvesting takes place for most of whats grown around here, I thought we would play a game of 'guess the crop'. This one is for the 'non' deep south visitors, please! I will post the crop at the bottom of the pictures later today. Have fun...

Crop #1 is tobacco! We are in the heart of that horrible habit!
