On Sunday, we went to a nearby pumpkin patch and corn maze with the Junior League of Greenville. It was great fun! They had a petting zoo, a little tractor pull for the kids, a "football farm", a hay barn, and a beanbag toss! Unfortunately, when we got there I realized that the battery in my digital camera was dead ... and, of course, I forgot to plug up my video camera the night before so it was dead, too. There was a professional photographer there, too, so I hope she was able to get some good shots of them. However, I was able to snap a few photos from my phone so I hope you enjoy :-)
They had a tractor pull for kids and Ian was dying to get in the little cart. Well, he did really good until it pulled away and then he started crying and trying to stand up...needless to say, Daddy had to come to his rescue and they had to stop the tractor for us to retrieve him! This picture was before they took off! It's amazing how they can go from so relaxed to a meltdown in just a matter of minutes!
Here are Ian & Bonner picking out their little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch!
Here they are with the baby calf that was at the petting zoo. They had goats, sheep, and a big pig - the cow was looking a little sickly so we didn't get too close.
Here they are enjoying the footballs in the "football farm". Basically, they nailed tires up to boards and people tried to quarterback and throw the footballs through the tire holes. The balls were pretty flat so Ian and Bonner could hold them just right :-)
I think this is the first time Bonner ever held a football -- powder puff, here we come :-)
And, lastly, here are the kids "playing" bean-bag toss. Bonner was very interested in where the beanbag was going and Ian just tried to throw it in the hole!
Excuse that Clemson Tiger Paw -- we were in Anderson which is near the University -- this is definitely not something we have laying around in our backyard :-)
The kids continue to enjoy "school" - or rather, mommy enjoys the kids going to "school" :-) We have a photo op this Thursday for our Kindermusik class so I will be rallying the troops (that's those of you reading this) to vote for Ian and Bonner as the cutest child ... so stay tuned.
I have made the kids' first dental appointment for the end of this month. Should be very interesting :-) They have so many teeth so I just wanna get them checked out. I guess I had better start brushing their teeth more regularly - it would be tough to have cavities at our first check-up :-) Just kidding!
Also, Ian has an appointment with the Pediatric Urologist on November 19th for a consultation regarding his circumcision. Poor guy! You might remember that they wouldn't do this while at MUSC because of the heart condition but now that we are 6 months post-op, we have received clearance to go ahead with the surgery. I guess the good thing is that by doing it at this age, he will be sedated; however, I'm sure when he wakes up, he's going to wonder what went on down there. We'll keep you posted on the surgery date so you can pray for him (and for daddy who cringes everytime the discussion is brought up)!
Hope everyone has a terrific week! We love you!

Ok, I'm officially insulted! :) Ha Ha!
