Thanksgiving Visit to McAllister Farm

On Thanksgiving Monday, Betty, Jody, Benjamin and I took a trip out to McAllister Farm for Family Day.
Here is a pic showing their windmill in the background, similar to what we will have, but ours will have a 20' tower instead. And ours is a much nicer pond, eh guys?
They had hay rides too, but we didn't stick around for that, though we did get a pic of Ben on the trailer with the hay.
They were selling pumpkins for 2 bucks a piece, but i bet we could get more for Ben!

We took a walk through the apple orchard to see the horses and cows. They pretty much ran over once they saw the apples Jody was holding. We'll have to make this an annual thing on Thanksgiving, Ben enjoyed it so much. If i can figure it out, i'll add a little video here.="http://www.youtube.com/v/-exhnJHDrmQ"

Ben's 8 month pics

Sorry it's been a while since my last post, but I'll make up for it today. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Now anyone should be able to leave a comment, just click on comment on the bottom of the post. Here are Ben's 8 month pics. This is his new Chevy truck, I think he likes it!! He definitely looks ready to go cruising.....
Here's Ben trying to get into his truck, wait til next fall, he'll be zipping around the pond!! Good thing we have 92 acres!
We found out that Benjamin loves boxes, I know, I know, all kids do, but it'll make it easier for Christmas this year, eh? Just wrap up a few empty boxes, and voila! Just kidding........


And here he is trying on Dad's chain, kinda big on him, eh?

last day of sept continued.......

Play time with Uncle Jason.........

and finally bed time for Ben. It only lasted for about an hour or so, then he was up for a while. The next morning, we found tooth #7, which explained the awake time when Darcy, Liss, our friend Dean from Korea, Kim, and newlyweds Joey and Kelly were here to enjoy our new fire pit with us. Click on the following link to see Benjamin half crawling half walking. http://www.youtube.com/v/UO8up8VjzJs" Here's another, both taken October 11, 2006 src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MTxJ3-_Dkhg
