Gross Pumpkins 2011

Our closest and biggest attraction for pumpkin picking and other fun is called GROSS FARMS.  I have researched and there really is no other option for all the things you can do in one place unless you drive over and hour.  I just had to throw the name in here since this is the third year we have been and it just sounds funny saying we are going to the Gross Farm.  What a crappy last name but they sure did make up for it with the fun they bring to so many families every fall.

This year we got to try the pumpkin jump for the first time.  I really did not feel like I went that high since Gavin’s 30 pounds weighed me down.  They both had so much fun and mommy too!

Brad cutting my head out of the photo! Thanks Babe!

Bradley kept slipping so here I am trying to jump with both of them.  There were a lot of other people on all at once so I couldn’t bust out any cheerleading jumps or anything.  Probably a good thing!

After all that excitement we were off to the ship playground.

Gavin met a little girl there that he was mesmerized by.  Here is his face staring and gawking at her.

Gavin picked one up that was way too heavy for him.  About to drop it.  He did this and threw a lot of them, kicked them and fell on them all day.

Bradley and Daddy were off trying to find the “best” pumpkin.  They searched the whole field and perimeters.

I caught these two both with their hands on their hips.  I guess they were thinking of what to do if they didn’t find the best pumpkin today.

Gavin did finally join the search team and Bradley was being a great big brother helping him along the path.

They went into some tall grassy area where Bradley is in there somewhere and out walked this….

Did you get your hair cut?? It looks shorter, very cute!! Love the pictures in the wheel barrel, I can't believe Easton is big enough to be hanging out with the big boys now! It's so neat to watch your family transform :)
