This year, we took a trip to Mayse Farm with the McCormick's. Lincoln and Liam LOVE Ellison and Emmerson, and they LOVE the farm, so this made for a pretty exciting trip.
Check out these buddies!
Going for a wagon ride
Slingin Gourds! The boys favorite part
Here are our friends, Matt - Jackie - Emmerson - and Ellison
Liam picking out his (huge) pumpkin
How sweet is Emmerson?
Lincoln just HAD to find a bigger pumpkin than Liam. Lol!
Everybody got to go for a horseback ride
Look at those sweet faces. But don't look too closely... Pretend you can't see the "accident" Liam had because he was having too much fun for a bathroom break... :(

Jackson's Orchard
Time for our annual Jackson's Orchard visit! For some reason, I can't find the pictures from my camera -- so thank goodness I was able to steal moms. Lot's of busy boy action probably led to less pictures than normal... LOL!
Lincoln was really loving the hay castle/maze this year. Climbing all over it and jumping everywhere. Liam was trying (God love him), but his little legs just wouldn't let him make it too far.
Look how cute my little mom is, too. :)
We're really moving up that apple chart! I just love these two...
They couldn't settle on just one pumpkin, of course, so we ended up taking way too many home.
We had some super bravery this year! Wanted to go all by himself.
And Liam held mom captive at the goat ranch. That boy and his love for animals.
Sweet face.
Another successful trip! We sure do love Jackson's Orchard!
