Dell' Osso Farms

My Favorite Quote of the Day (from Liam):
"Mom...the most AMAZING thing happened today. I just became the fastest kid in the 4th grade!" (he couldn't even wait to get in the car from school to tell me this. He leaned into the open passenger-side window in the pick-up line at school. His P.E. Teacher had been doing some speed testing and it appears Liam won). :-)
================================

Here are some of the best boys on the planet. Well, this mom thinks so. :) They humored me with a pic together at Dell' Osso Farms tonight. Fall is my favorite season and I just love their happy faces in this pumpkin patch pic. Other than the fact that I love the subjects, I love this photo because they are all living in peace for at least this one instance. No arguing, no pointing the finger at the other, no physical altercations, nothing but pure PEACE. This is all beautiful to a mom with three boys. I will remember the peace....and look at this photo when there's moments of "not so much peace."

Tonight Liam went on the zip line. Poor Landon was looking forward to doing it this year, but STILL did not reach the 60 pound weight requirement. At only 58 pounds I was really tempted to put a couple of rocks in his britches before the people weighed him, but decided that the Sunday School teacher in me had better not. He looked up at them and they said "I'm afraid he can't do it." He took it well with promise that he can ride the horse when Liam was done with the zip-lining. With arms held out like he was flying, Liam embraced the zooming down the line. Then it was Landon's turn on the horse with a huge smile while bobbing from side to side on the saddle. Tonight also included a trip through the corn maze with map in hand in the light AND in the dark. Landon was totally done with the corn maze about halfway through when he said "I'm tiwered, can't we go do something else." Loren went on a Ropes Course and shockingly jumped right off the end to come down (tied on, of course). It appears that my apprehensive boy has been replaced with a much more daring variety. They visited several other areas like a petting zoo, huge inflatable pillow jumping area and of course the funnel cake and turkey leg lines. :)
