Schepf's Farms

I believe this was the FIFTH year our family has continued with the tradition of Schnepf's Farm, and I belive I can say it is the event that the boys look forward to the most every year... EVEN OVER CHRISTMAS!

Right when we walked through the gate the boys got their faces painted, and I have never seen them sit so still for five minuets in all their lives, but when it comes to IMPORTANT face painting things I can see why! Britton cried when I washed his pumpkin off the next morning. Then it was right to the pumpkin patch to pick out just the right pumpkin. Every day of this whole last year all I have heard from Benson is how he can not wait to go on the haunted train again, so of course when we got the tickets to the train he could barely wait in line. We had to keep running after him so he would not jump on the train with out us. As we started the ride Britton was sitting by me and Benson was sitting by Grandma Connie. When we ended the ride, Britton was strangling his arms around my head with his legs around my neck as well and Benson was on Grandma Connie's lap with his hands over his eyes. My mom told them that it was just people dressed up in scary costumes to which Benson responded, "No Grandma Connie, those are scary monsters dressed up in scary costumes."

The food was great and the rides were a blast. I think the Bumble Bee Ride took the cake again for the boys for the second year in a row. Papa Skip was a total trooper to go with Benson, since we know Papa Skip is not a "Ride" type of person. Even though they loves the Bumble Bee Ride, I think the LONG slide is catching up since Benson went down it over and over and over ALL BY HIMSELF!

The night ended with a GREAT fire works show and the boys falling asleep on the way home. Of course now all I hear is, "When are we going back to Schnepf's Farms Mommy?" A whole other year of Schnepf's Farms questions..... GREAT!
