Max and the Motorcycle

Max can't seem to get enough of Sam's 4-wheeler. He asks constantly, "Can we can go out to Uncle Tom and Aunt Beth's farm today so I can ride my motorcycle?"

Well, daddy delivered today.

As I weeded, and worked, and labored, and tended our organic garden, the boys were living it up. Laughing, smiling, and grinning from ear to ear. They would blaze by me, then slow down to a crawl so Max could yell out, "do you see me mama, do you see me?" Sure do buddy.

So what does a piece of heaven look like to Max? Apparently, it's a hunk a metal that you can ride at high flying speeds, and includes dirt in the face, grit in the teeth, and a sweaty head of hair under that helmet. Go get em' boys!

Pumpkin Patch

We enjoyed a warm, fall day at the pumpkin patch with friends and family. Max was quite at home on the farm. He dragged his favorite pumpkin around for ages, played and played in the cornbox with his cousins, and even had his first homemade powdered sugar doughnut. All in all, I think it was a success!

Fun at the Farm

Max's grandfather, or the man more lovingly known at Papa, turns the big 6-0 in a few days. To celebrate, we all headed out to Sam's brother, Tom's, farm. We enjoyed games [3-legged race, egg toss, water balloon toss!], prizes [as in good prizes that included envelopes with cash], and yummy, pot-luck, grilling food. 

What a beautiful day spent with family on the farm.

The ol' tire swing!

Max looked like a pro with his first ear of corn!

[Looks like I don't have to slice the kernels off the cob anymore!]

The day wasn't complete without a 4-Wheeler ride.

Plenty of yard to play with his cousins!

And the reason we all celebrated:

Happy 60th Birthday Papa!
