Fun at Wheeler Farm.

Mason and his friend Hayden went to Wheeler Farm's Scarecrow Festival. There they got to pick a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch and paint the pumpkin. Then they got to ride a wagon pulled by a tractor through the farming land. They saw cows, pigs, sheep, horses, duck pond, river, and a lot of cool scenery. The ride at times was bumpy but went pretty fast. The mommies (Merilee and I) had to hold onto to our kids pretty tight (while trying not to fall off ourselves). They also had adult crafts and you could have built your own scarecrow. But we decided just to do the kiddie activities. It was a blast and the kids had a great time doing it! You know when the activity was successful is when you get home and your kids take a nap with no fussing!

Mason's first time bowling.

We went to visit Amber, Scott's little sister, in Pocatello, Idaho. If anyone of you have ever been there it is a very small place, but Idaho State is there and that is what brings Amber there. She plays softball for the team. What can you do in a little town....well eat, watch tv and go bowling. They did not have kid size bowling balls so we improvised with our balls (by rolling it with him). Mason did better than we did and he didn't have any bumpers! Good job, Mason!

Mason can always make us smile!

Mason decided to sit in this little bin to see if his whole body would fit in there i guess. He loves playing with random items in the house. I guess they all go through that stage. No matter what toys you buy them they want the free ones they see the grown ups using. No matter, they make great pictures!

A day at the Utah State Fair!

We took Mason to the Utah State Fair in September. They had a lot of rides, slides, and games. We let Mason ride on the pony ride. He had a great time. I was scared for him so I made Scott walk beside him because I was to affraid of the little horse. Because I am pregnant I made Scott take Mason down the big yellow slide. He had so much fun. At the fair they have a little farm where the little farmers can do some farming chores. You started out by putting on your apron and getting a bucket of feed for the animals (corn). Then you went and picked an apple off of the fake tree. Then went and got a seed and planted it in a huge sand box and went to the other side to harvest your plant. All the while you are keeping all the things you are collecting in this little bucket. You bailed some hay and rode it around in your tractor (tricycle with a wagon on it). You pick an egg from under a fake chicken in the chicken coop, shear a sheep for some wool and feed the sheep and milk a cow (water squirted out of the utters of a fake cow). You took all the things you collected saying that you did all the stations and turned it in for a healthy treat. It was my favorite part of the fair. (and the only one that did not cost an arm and a leg). It was way too cute and fun! I wish i would have gotten pictures but my camera had died about then. It always happens when you want to take a picture of something good!
