Back in Iowa

When we were in Iowa in January for my grandpa's funeral it snowed, and until the past few days that was really all the snow that Iowa had gotten so far this year. It figures, the one time we are back that it would snow! Dylan was excited though. That was the most snow he had seen and he was very excited to go outside and play in the snow. Luckily his Aunt's Dana and Cathy and Grandma Judy were happy to accompany him outside in the freezing cold to play in the snow! Dana tought him how to make snow angels. Cathy and Jane even bought Dylan a sled! With it being almost 70 degrees in Tennessee today, I doubt (hope! I am ready for Spring)we are going to get a chance to use the sled again. There's always next year!

Pumpkin Farm

Last Saturday we made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Farm. We went back to Oakes Farm after visiting a different farm last year. Oakes has lots to do, they have a "back 40" area with bounce houses, slides, a petting zoo, sand box, and more. It's $10 per person to get in to that area (includes the hay rack ride to get your pumpkin) and another $5 per pumpkin. I can see charging the kids to get into the back 40 area, but in my opinion it's a little much to be charging the adults when they aren't using the activities back there. Or maybe they could charge less for adults. It was $36 for my mom, Dylan and I for the back 40 area and 1 pumpkin, admission for family of four plus pumpkins for the kids would be over $50, that seems pretty expensive to me.

That being said, we did have a great time and the food prices are very reasonable. You can also bring your own food in which is nice. They had a huge selection of pumpkins, Dylan had fun trying to pick pumpkins up and choosing just the right one.

Because my Mom made me

My Mom is wonderful about sending Dylan clothes. Dylan loves fire trucks and she sent him this cute outfit and requested pictures of him in it, so here you go Mom!

This is the face I got when I told him I was going to take a picture.

Running over to see what the picture looks like made for a much better picture.
