Cousins, pumpkins, and a birthday celebration!

The "Montana" cousins came for the weekend!
We all (like the whole 4 big families) made the trek up to greenbluff to all pick out pumpkins to carve at gramma goats house the following day for dads birthday!
At greenbluff we hung out and rode the wiggle worm, lasso'd a bull (not really) and went to the pumpkin patch.
Sunday after church we went to gramma goats house to celebrate Aaron's 33rd birthday (ya, pumpkin carving more for the kids than him, of course). Aaron brought a few of our guns and clay pigeons. The kids were BEYOND excited to shoot their first guns. Wow! Parker loooooooooved it. Like more than ANYTHING! Colton tried so hard NOT to smile when he was done, but you could tell he was bursting with joy, excitement, and accomplishment inside :)
Even I shot a few rounds ;)
To end the day we sang happy birthday and enjoyed a fresh, homemade carrot cake (carrots that the kids planted in our garden).
I'd say it was a pretty darn fun weekend, wouldn't you!?!

• Colton's first field trip to <GREENBLUFF>

I had the wonderful opportunity to accompany Colton on his first fieldtrip (and school bus ride!) to Hidden Acres high atop Greenbluff.
The day could NOT have been more beautiful. The sun, the warmth, the colors, my special boy, EVERYTHING!
We really had a good time learning about apples, bees, and pumpkins.
We took a hay ride, went through a hay maze, and picked out the most perfect pumpkins. We finished the day with a picnic in the warm sunshine on the pumpkin farm.
First field trip -- success!
