We had a great and relaxing weekend fun farm. It was nice to get away and go and visit the in-laws. The kids always like getting out and playing outside, getting dirty, and doing all the things that we don't have to do at home like play outside, and chase the cats around the farm. Not to mention we did play some kickball, some Gator tag, and got the roast some hot dogs over fire.


Sun Rise

I was hoping to capture a couple of sunrise and sunsets, and I tried to use new GoPro but once again the GoPro appears to be really bleached out and not very impressive. I'll have to download it to my computer and see what's going on, I just can't seem to figure that thing out. But it did match it to snap a couple of pictures of the sunrise with my phone. I always like watching the sun rises there, there seems to be a lot prettier colors I'm not sure if it's because of all the dust in the air or just where we are but it seems to be much more vivid reds and blues and purple. Maybe it has more to do with how long we can see up in horizon versus where we are with the hills blocking much of that Twilight type sky.

Pumpkins Galore!!!

I planted some pumpkin seeds earlier this spring, some of them from giant ones that they found in a ditch. As you can see the pumpkins that they did plant when bonkers this year and created a massive horde of pumpkins. There are also three gargantuan pumpkins. We got to bring two home, when they left one there for Grandma and Grandpa to display. It was pretty impressive see how big these things got and honestly I'm glad I didn't get any bigger because I had to pick him up and put him in the back of the truck to haul him home.

Exploring the old fishing Quarry

We go to this old rock quarry quite a bit, mostly just to go for a nice walk and throw rocks into the quarry. There's a lot of nice skipping rocks that we can walk around and find and skip. There's some pretty good fishing here too I guess, something I'll have to look into for the future. It might pay off to bring my fishing poles and buy a out-of-state license just to see what's in there, it looks like it's stocked really well with bass and there are some bass fishing men who showed up at the end who are hoping to get some big ones. I know it's really deep, so we can hold some big fish.

Pumpkins Made it home

We got the pumpkins home, we decided to play some of our own around the house to to be a bit more festive for the fall. Had to put these close to the front door adjust your fear of someone smashing into, although I haven't really seen many smashed pumpkins on the road like I did when I was growing up.

Gords - Kids going into Business

The kids are sure that they're going to go into the pumpkin and Gordon business. There was more gourds than knobby looking things people seem to love the decorate with this time of year. Grandma sent home as many as we could fit in the truck and the boys think they're going to set up a stand to sell them. Now the only issue is trying to price them and get them sold to the public. I might have to actually post something on the local Facebook page to get people to stop down and hand over their harder and cash for a ugly looking gord.

great fall weekend

Overall it was a great fall weekend. We even managed to score some tickets to a comedy show that my wife and I were able to go to. That was the first time we've gone on a date in a long time and it was nice to hear some good comedy. Lots to laugh, in a few things to think about just how good comedy should be. The show was about 90 minutes and honestly I was ready to go by the end. Nothing against the comedian but I was starting to get uncomfortable in the chair and just needed to get up and move around. I could have listened to him talk and tell stories for another hour if my lights weren't bothering me so bad. I hope the rest of our fall weekends are as good as this one.
