So today we ventured out into the world of Pumpkins. There was fun for all once we actually found the place. I guess the location is so remote that our GPS system couldn't even find it. But once we reach the lovely Aplin Farms in Dothan, AL the kids got excited because they remembered that we went here last year. This farm is located on a large piece of land that is covered with pumpkins and sunflowers and a variety of other veggies. There's a small petting zoo, with cows, pigs, billy goats, baby chicks, rabbits and the smelly donkeys. There is a Corn Maze and demostration barn where the kiddos can learn how to milk a cow and check for eggs under chickens (not real ones stuff animal chickens)

This is a picture of the kiddos on the way back from the pumpkin patch were they were able to pick their very own pumpkins from the vine. We also were able to choose a sunflower to take home with us.
The Jacobson went with us as well. This is Ollie (Olivia Jacobson) she is super cute and it's always a blast to see Marv and her together, you never know what they will say or do.
Tony, Matt Jacobson, Savy and Trevon Jacobson are here in the distance trying to find the biggest and plumpest pumpkin possible to bring home. Savy found a really big one but the rule is if you can't carry it then you can't have it.
Marv drinking a juice box because he said he was super duper thirsty. Also hes at the petting zoo part of the farm.
Luna really liked the chickens and she let them know by screaming at them and of course waving to them.
This was my attempt of getting a mommy & daughter picture with Luna. I look like a freak and well she has other things on her mind.
This is the pumpkin Marv picked from the vine to take home with him. It wasn't the best choice but his choice never the less. So we brought it home.
Savy venturing his way back to the tractor and wagon with his prize pumpkin.
The sunflowers went on for miles it was so beautiful.

All and all even after getting lost and driving 30 mins in the wrong direction (twice) it was a great time and the kids had so much fun. Tomorrow we decorate for Halloween. I love fall time so much, just wish that we were back in New England where falls beauty is breath taking.
