Pumpkins & Horses

Every year, around this time, Joyful Noise (the children's choir) and some parents get loaded onto the church bus to take a trip to Gallrein Farms and Rev. Kathy's house. 


At Gallrein
Playing in the hay, the barrell train, and the hay, again!
Noah, Savannah & Glenn, on the wagon to the pumpkin patch.

Waiting for everyone to finish paying for their pumpkin picks...


After the pumpkins, we hop back on the bus for the short ride to Rev Kathy's house.  There, we grill hotdogs and then make & eat s'mores.  Yum!   
This is Max.  He's a total sweetie and he LOVES marshmallows.  I'm pretty sure he's trying to use ESP to get somebody to drop one.  Or twelve.
Parents & grandparents chatting & hanging out in the garage (out of the wind) while the kids run around like the crazy people they are.
Sean likes the swings
Glenn liked being in the trees (can you tell he had Doritos with his hotdog?)



After lunch, it's time for riding horses.  Glenn wanted nothing to do with that - he'd rather play in the hay in the barn, which he did - but Sean took a ride on Lexie and did wonderfully! 






 

Many, many thanks to Ron for driving the bus and to Rev. Kathy for opening her home (and subjecting her sweet horses) to all of us!!
