Saturday

On Saturday, some of our community group friends had mentioned that they were going to go to a pumpkin patch. We decided that sounded like fun so we headed to Walden Farm, located in Smyrna.

It's quite the pumpkin patch. It's a whole little enterprise of pumpkins and entertainment. It was so much fun and perfect for a little guy like Ford (there is also fun stuff for older kids). They had a corn maze for the big kids and a hay maze for the little kids. They had just about any kind of farm animal that you could imagine. There were all kinds of play stations...sand art, Little People barn and tractor tables, tire swings, sand boxes, pedal tractors, hay to climb on. There was even a bluegrass band! Not to mention a consession stand with lunch and all kinds of pumpkin desserts.

It's just the cutest place and the Walden family was so friendly and helpful. We plan on making it a family tradition to go every year!

Okay, I do have to comment on this next picture. Scott went to put the pumpkins in the car and Ford and I stayed behind. While we were waiting for Scott, the bluegrass band starting playing. I didn't say a word and looked and Ford was literally doing a ho-down, elbows up and all!

Late Saturday afternoon, we were invited to The Trusses house. The Trapps and Brandensteins were in Nashville for the weekend and our former community group was able to have a get together. I didn't get pictures of everyone, but here are some of the attendees. Congratulations to the Brandensteins who are expecting their third girl in February! And, congratulations to the Trapps who are adopting a child from Korea (they already have two biological children)! It was wonderful to be able to visit with them even if it was only for a short time. We miss them all very much!
