Wheeler Historic Farm

Our Day at the Wheeler Family Historic Farm...

We started off with a walk through a hay/corn maze...

adorned with many decorations...


pausing here and there for a quick rest...

When we came out the exit, we entered the pumpkin patch!! We spent some time there, each person picking out that perfect pumpkin. Avy found her prize pumpkin first..

Dad and Mom found theirs next. (not pictured) followed eventually by Joshua. Who must have evaluated at least 20 or more pumpkins before settling on this beauty...

Attempting a group shot, while looking into the sun and BAKING...

Next we headed over to another section of the farm for a wagon ride. The kids had fun posing with this big tractor while we waited in line...

Finally it was our turn to load up on the wagon. Sitting down was a welcomed break for Mom and Dad, though the heat was still there.

After the wagon ride we spent the rest of our time walking the farm and looking at all the various animals. The kids really enjoyed seeing them all and petting a few.

There was a beautiful stream running through the farm with lots of shade. So we decided to stop there for some nice pictures (and a little break from the sun). The kids however, we just that, kids. They did not seem to cooperate.



Back in the sun to see more animals...




We had a really great time at the farm and I think the kids did as well. They did not want to leave!

Joshua's First Day of Kindergarten



Joshua was very excited for his first day of school. (9/1/2010) He practically ran all the way there, and has loved going every day since. He seems to do very well and we are very excited that he is learning so many new things.
