Mazing and Climbing

I took the kids out to Terhune Orchards for pumpkin picking this year and the kids loved doing the corn maze, as usual. It was muddy, of course, but we remembered to wear boots so didn't fear the mess. We found the exit after only a couple turns so had to go back in to really get lost and then find our way out, haha. They have little tractors and John Deere tricycles that the kids had a blast riding on also. A beautiful day at the farm!!

Funny how they each picked out a pumpkin appropriate to their size all on their own. Mmmm....apples!

Big J took the kids climbing at this lone boulder in the middle of the woods. Leave it to climbers to find a rock big enough to climb even with no indication there would be one this size in the proximate area! We wanted to go as a family but I was not feeling well so the kids had some Daddy time while I napped and cleaned house. Cleaning seems to always put me in a good mood these days.

Look at the size of that thing! All three kidlets made it up this side of the rock, up the largest crack in the middle.
B attempted the other side which is far more difficult with fewer and smaller holds.

Look at the size of that crimper!! She is gaining quite the technique and made it to the top!! And Big J kept his promise not to have to take anyone to the ER.

I thought this was adorable and had to capture the moment. When our bunk bed had had enough we took it apart and put the mattresses next to each other. Little Bug took this to her advantage and got Big Sis to snuggle up with her. So sweet!!
