Oliver Takes Marissa for a tractor ride

Cuties, All of 'Em

Life keeps rolling along, time is a flyin' and it's probably my favorite time of the year, fall, Halloween all of that. I am only allowing myself tiny moments of longing for a proper Vermont fall, sniff, sniff. I am determined to make the most of it here though, and heck, the kids sure don't know any different. We visited Underwood Family Farms the other weekend during their tractor weekend. I love it there, I feel like we have as much fun as the kids do. And, I love that they have an Oliver tractor, how awesome is that. If only I could dig up last year's pictures for comparisons sake. If you look back at the 6 month post some of those photos are from Underwood. I can't believe Oliver was only 6 months old at this time of year last year. The amount both the kids have changed is just mind blowing. Oliver was fired up for the tractors, Marissa loved the pony rides (as always) and getting shaved ice as a treat. She picked root beer (well, "brown") as one of her flavors, I was surprised because she is such a pink/purple girl, but it was delicious! I have to say my favorite part was seeing the kids pick out pumpkins in the patch, Marissa went a little hog wild and we ended up with a whole wheelbarrow full. Oliver meanwhile amazed me with his strength, lifting pumpkins that were NOT light left and right. He has also been busy scaling the back porch metal trellis to scary heights. Yeah, he is not to be trusted. Hope everyone is having a great fall wherever you are!
