Paula and Lydia invited us to go to Rich Farms with them yesterday. We had a blast! I have tons of pictures...I'll try to narrow it down some, but just warning you, there was so much to do and the kids were so cute...I have a lot of "must post" pictures. Here are Bray and Lydia on the hay-less hayride. It took us all around the farm and was pulled by a big tractor. 
The hayride stopped at a corn field and let the kids get off and pick an ear of Indian corn. Here is Braylon trying to pick his corn.
Picking corn is harder than you think.
Taking a look at his prize.
At this point Braylon realized that the corn had red, brown, orange, and black kernels.
Bray kept saying "yuck". I think he thought he was supposed to eat it.

Me and Bray...look how long he is.
Braylon and Lydia also went for a ride on this little train, which was pulled around the play area of the farm by this lawn tractor.
Funny story: Paula and I loaded the kids into the train, strapped them into their seat belts and stood back and watched them go. The group of parents in the picture above followed the train all around the farm running when they had to to keep up...the one mom never let go of her little girl's hand. About half way through the ride, when we realized what they were doing Paula and I questioned if we were bad parents for not following along too...but honestly, it never crossed my mind until Paula pointed out that the other parents were doing it...but Bray and Lydia made it back safe and sound and they will probably develop into very independent, self-reliant adults....

First things first, lets feed this pony a pumpkin.
Lydia checks out the selection.
Braylon with pumpkin 14 of the 1,364 pumpkins he picked up before he finally decided on one.
I just think this is such a pretty picture with the blue sky, trees, fence, and corn in the back ground
I love this picture of Lydia and Paula too...Unlike Braylon, Lydia didn't have to touch quite every pumpkin in the patch before she made her selection and headed out.
Finally Braylon settled on a pumpkin and we high tailed it out of there before he changed his mind again. Braylon pointing out the way back through the corn maze.

A beautiful ending to a very beautiful day.

You have some really great pictures. We had such a good time. When Lydia woke up she kept telling her dad about how Erine was singing. Of all the things she did, Erine singing Rubber Duckie on the loud speaker was what she remembered! I agree that we are doing a pretty good job raising our kids if I do say so myself!!
