Tom's Farm outing

Our church reserve 3 bonfires at a local pumpkin patch this last weekend, so of course we joined in the fun. We roasted hot dogs, made smores, went on a hayride, picked pumpkins straight off the vine, posed for pictures, played on the playground, and enjoyed sweet fellowship with over 100 of our church members. It was an awesome time.

This is Nathan and Emma (Nathan always refers to her as either "my emma" or "emma shoowa....her last name is Schuler) They are total love birds. Emma's mom, Amy, and I are good friends. We "support" their childhood romance but have both had to stop them several times from giving each other kisses on the lips. We now have a firm rule in this family that you only "lip kiss" someone in your family or someone that you are ALREADY married too (Nathan and Emma both proclaim freely that they are going to marry each other someday!)

We're hoping that this event becomes a yearly thing for our church. If not, I can guarantee it will be for our family. This week we will work to carve our pumpkins and have some family prayer time....look for a spooktacular post on this soon!
