Pumpkin Pickin' and Pa's Birthday

This past weekend my aunt, uncle and cousin came down from "the north country" and we decided to do some pumpkin picking, corn maze-ing and hay riding. We headed out on Saturday morning on our way to Stakey's (or Stinkey's, or Stankey's if you're Anna). Stakey's had a bumper crop of lots of different pumpkins and everyone had a great time picking just the "perfect" one. Then Tom, Aunt Bernadette and the bigger kids (Katie included) decided to tackle the corn maze. The girls outsmarted the boys and beat them out of the maze. Meanwhile, Jackie and Rachael did some jumping in the bounce house. Then we all took a "hay" ride sans the hay- they removed it because it was slippery. Wasn't quite the same, I must say.


Here's the link to the rest of the pumpkin pictures.



Afterwards we all headed over to Grandma and Pa's to celebrate Pa's birthday.


We tried to get all Pa's girls for this picture but Liv wasn't really into it.


Happy Birthday, Pa!
