Pumpkin Patch

-
On Sunday Finn and I kissed Grandad and Gigi goodbye and then met Daddy just in time for lunch at Shane's. Finn brought his "Gordon" train into the restaurant. At one point he dropped his Gordon in what we thought was the huge garbage can. Finn was devastated. It took me forever to get him stop crying. He turned around immediately, threw is arms around me, laid his head on my shoulder and cried his little eyes out. It was heartbreaking. Turns out he only dropped the train behind the garbage can so it was pretty easy to get the train back.

After lunch we went to Shuckle's Corn Maze - or as Finn calls it the Punkin Patch. When we got there Finn headed straight for the farm animal cut-out board. He really liked this and spent a good deal of time here.

Next we went to the actual pumpkin patch where Finn picked out a pumpkin to carve.


Next we played a family game of corn hole. It was about this time that Gran came to hang out with us.


Next Finn found the corn shuck tunnel. This was the entrance of the maze. Finn cared nothing for the maze but loved the tunnel. Our next stop was to the big slide.


Gran and Finn at the "noise making" station.


I think that Finn had a really good time. His favorite thing in the world is to be outside so he was very happy to be able to spend a couple of hours playing outdoors.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
