Fall Fun

This picture was taken on our previous outing to Belvedere Plantation for their Pumpkin Patch and corn maze. It was the year 2000. Fred was just 7 years old and Peter was 6 months. We tried to do the maze, which at the time was much more difficult. The day was rather challenging.
Forward 8 years. This year's trip was much more fun. Fred was not thrilled with having his picture taken in a sunflower.
We were successful at all 3 mazes (well, Chris and I sat out the last one).
We had to try our hand at jousting. Dad still won, but Fred got him down once.

Poor Peter didn't really have the power to move Ben. But it was fun trying. He'll get him soon.

Sam and I battled it out. He got me down once, but I prevailed. That won't last long!

These were peddle tractors. You had to peddle up a hill and then you coasted down the track. It went suprisingly fast.

Alas, Peter wasn't tall enough to peddle the big tractors. He had to stick with the flat course. He could have made that hill, right Pete?

There were many different colored pumpkins at the front. We didn't make the journey on the haywagon to the patch, though. We'll get ours from our neighborhood farmer.

This was a Jacob sheep. The sign said that they can grow 2, 4, or 6 horns. This one was in a pen with his wife, who only had 2 smaller horns.

The cloud bank looked so interesting. It almost looks like the bottom of a ship through the sea of clouds.
