Down on the Farm

Jack had his first field trip...to a pumpkin patch and petting farm. He was lucky enough to be able to spend some time with Grandma Jean and Aunt Whitney, who came down for the occasion. After a brutally hot Monday and Tuesday, temperatures finally got back to normal, with morning temps in the low 50's. Perfect Weather!!!!

Here are some of the highlights.


What's important to note here is not that Jack likes the goats, but that he's sucking on the bars of the pen holding the goats. His comment: tastes like chicken.



Here's Jack and Aunt Whitney standing in a "John Deere tractor" playground piece. Jack really likes tractors. This worked out doubly-well, because Aunt Whitney goes to Appalachian State University, which means she likes men who like tractors.



Probably the most non-threatening scarecrow we've ever seen.

And finally, what we all wanted to see...Jack picks out a pumpkin.
