Another busy weekend at our house. Friday night we went to the Ringling Brothers Circus at Wells Fargo Arena. It's funny...some of my best memories and some of my worst memories are in that building. The finals of the 3A Girls Basketball tournament in 2006 is something that I hope to remember for the rest of my life. The first round of the tournament in 2007 is something that I hope to forget very soon!
But the circus was fun! Shaun was a bit overwhelmed I think but Sydney loved it! The elephants were a big hit with both kids. Sydney was amazed by the acrobats from China. Then on Saturday morning we went out to Howell's Tree Farm to their pumpkin patch. We met some other families with children from China and the kids played on swings, pet the bunnies, walked through the corn maze, and then found their own pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Daddy and Shaun found a nice sized pumpkin in the middle of the patch. Sydney discovered one that was just her size and called it her own. Then when Sydney saw that her's wasn't as large as Shaun's, she turned to me and declared that "We have to find a big honkin one" and proceeded to identify a beautiful 30 pound pumpkin.
Sydney carried her pumpkin back to the wagon and Mommy carried the 30 pounder! We have three more trips to the pumpkin patch with pre-school so I fully expect to have the most pumpkins that we've ever had.
The rust colored layout is a picture from the corn maze. It was for a challenge to just use one color for a layout over at oscraps. The other layout shows Sydney with her own pumpkin!
