Pumpkin Patch and stuff

Now that Rose's birthday is pretty much done with, thanksgiving is upon us and Halloween is just around the corner so this morning we went foraging for pumpkins at Shantz Family Farm.

There were lots of activities on offer.  Jacob made a new friend, we went in a very ghostly corn maze, Rose made the best of a playground even though she was wearing a skirt (sans shorts underneath) and we picked our own pumpkins off the ground in a vast pumpkin patch.

Our selection is sitting out on the porch still covered in mud right now so I'll take a photo later when we've cleaned them up a bit.

Since it was so glorious outside we decided to annoy the kids further by taking them to the first dwelling built in Kitchener, Joseph Shneider Haus, c. 1820.  It was very spacious and I picked up some interesting interior decor tips but forgot to take photos.  Here are J and R outside it.

Now I am indulging in a small glass of red wine to help me make dinner so forgive any really inarticulate parts of this post, and I shall leave you with this rather fine tree.
