Pun-kins

Jackson has a tough time saying "pumpkins", it comes out more like "pun-kins". Too cute! He's been waiting to go the "Pun-kin Patch" for weeks now. We drive by it almost everyday on the way to school and he always yells, "Mommy stop! Pun-kins!" So, today we finally got to go play among the pumpkins. Jackson loved roaming around the pumpkins and posing for pictures (a first!) However, when we got home and started to carve our pumpkin... he was less excited! At first, he jumped right in and seemed ready to dig out the pumpkin guts, but after one touch all we heard was "Yucky!" "I don't like it!" : ) Oh well, it was still fun creating our jack-o-lantern and baking our pumpkin seeds. Happy Halloween!

It's Circus Time

Getting ready for the Big Show

The amazing sheepdogs - an Agee family favorite

Jackson's second favorite thing about the circus -- the food!

Enormous elephants

This past week was MEA, so Jackson and I had Thursday and Friday off. Paul took Friday off, so we went to the Circus This was Jackson's first big event at the Target Center. He was in awe of everything, especially all of the flashing lights and loud people (kids!) I think Jackson's favorite act was the high wire motorcycles. They drove their motorcycles right above our heads. It was a little more than Mom could watch -- yikes! But not Jackson, he cheered and clapped the whole time. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a picture of them, they were moving too fast and it was too dark in there. Oh well, use your imagination! : )

Afton Apple Orchard

Jumping to Mommy! Check out the "hay pants!"

Whoa! What a hungry llama!

Ride 'em cowboy!

Jackson and Daddy getting ready for the hayride

The Agee family ventured out into the crisp Fall air to check out the apples and pumpkins at the Afton Apple Orchard. It was surprisingly comfortable out there. Jackson had a blast climbing the hay bales, playing on the HUGE playground, feeding the animals, watching apple cider being pressed, and taking a hayride out into the orchards. He literally had a smile on his face from the time we got out of the car until we got back into the car. I think he was also asleep before we turned onto the highway. Oh, it's good to wear him out! : )
