Aston’s preschool, Sharon Presbyterian Weekday School, reserved space at Riverbend Farms in Midland, NC for all their students last Saturday. This place was way beyond what we expected. We thought we’d see a few animals, go on a hay ride, and pick out a few pumpkins from a pile. No, no, no, no…this place had it’s own store, more than one tractor ride, emus, goats, slides, BBQ, ice cream, and we actually got to pick our pumpkins and gourds from the 22 acre pumpkin patch!
FARM ATTIRE: Aston wore Jeff’s “Haytown Preschool” t-shirt that he wore when he went to preschool and Stelly wore my cow dress from when I was a teeny weenie Vermont baby (thanks Gram for bringing it last weekend)…this was the best shot I got of the 2 of them together… 
Chinese pilgrims:)
The Kate embrace…
On the hunt for the best pumpkins in the patch…
Back on the tractor ride…
“You’re not a ‘Lee’ yet” quote of the day from Bruce (in reference to another incident but I feel like it fits here too):)
THE SLIDE: this slide was crazy cool. It’s this big old silo with plastic piping coming out of it as the slide part…
Aston insisted he go down himself after a few times with Dad…Jeff’s in the window above sending him down the shoot
The slide insides made for some cool silhouette shots…
Bruce and Kate at the bottom to catch… 
The backwards belly slide…
BB and Babs joined us and they were a big help as always…thanks BB and Babs!
Gangsta’s (eatin’ pickles)…
The whole crew… 
A little fake horseback riding…
A little ice cream eatin’…
Love how Kate is sitting here so big girl like…
“I see you Kate Kate”…
Stelly posing on the 300 pound gourd…
Last photo…I promise:)…look how beat Aston looks…we were there from 11am to 2:30pm…way past nap time!
See Kate’s blog for more Riverbend photo’s!
