Boys,
This past weekend we took a trip to a Farm so we could pick out a pumpkin for Halloween. Auntie Sara joined us, and when we got there we met up with Uncle Brian, Auntie Amanda, and Cole! Before we made our way to the farm though we stopped at Toys R Us because they were having a special Chuggington Day where you, Benjamin, got to play with all the Interactive Chuggington Trains you already have at home as well as get a cool sticker. We picked up the newest Chuggington DVD for the both of you with the coupon they were handing out and we played for a little while. Afterwards we went to Burger King for some lunch before heading to the Farm. 
When we got to the Farm we waited a little while for Auntie Amanda and Uncle Brian to show up, and as we waited we got to see all the other people who came dressed up as characters from Harry Potter. The Farm was having a special deal that if you dressed up as a character from Harry Potter you got a dollar off. Daddy did not remember this because he could have easily drawn a lightning bolt on of your foreheads and put some glasses on you guys. The two of you got in for free anyway because you're under the age limit for paying tickets. 
When Auntie Amanda, Uncle Brian, and Cole showed up we all got our tickets and went straight into the Corn Maze. We walked around for a while going in circles and going at a slow pace. Benjamin, you wanted to pick up every rock you came across and show it to Mommy and Daddy while saying the word "rock". For a little while we were led through the Corn Maze by Cole! We came across a wooden bridge that did not seem that stable as we tried to make our way through to the other side. After awhile we kept coming back to this bridge and now it became apparent we were just walking in circles. 
Uncle Brian had purchased a map for the maze and while we stopped to take a family photo he was able to find his way out of the maze. We ended up making our way out the way we came in instead of going through the length of the maze. The two of you were getting frustrated inside of the maze and instead of going deeper into it to the point where we would have to call 911 to help us out (that's not entirely true, but when you are old enough to read this you won't get what Daddy is referring to.) we decided to just trace our footsteps backwards and go out the way we came in. 
Somehow while in the Maze, Daddy managed to lose the tickets to the Hay Ride and had to purchase two more. While we waited for the Tractor to come back around for the hay ride Auntie Sara got herself a candy apple and a soda. She really enjoyed the candy apple so much and Daddy was able to capture the magic behind it. Sometimes boys it really is the little things in life that make it worth living. The tractor arrived and we all got on board. It was a very bumpy ride, but along the way we saw some cows, some baby cows, a cat, more cows, grass, more grass, cut down trees, more cows, and more grass! We were able to see the pumpkin patch before the hay ride was over and it didn't seem like there were many good pumpkin's left over. 
We left the Hay Ride and made our way over to the Pumpkin Patch. There wasn't that many good pumpkin's left over as we had feared due to the Hay Ride, but we were able to explore and at least check to see if there was some we could have brought home with us. After looking through dozens of pumpkin's we decided we would head back and try to find a pumpkin at a grocery store. Daddy ended up purchasing a big pumpkin tonight for less than half the price of the ones at the Farm. We headed on home after leaving the Farm where the two of you went down for your naps. There is another Pumpkin Patch alot closer to home that we will have to go to next year, but maybe we can go to the Corn Maze again someday when you, Jonathan, won't have to be held the entire time. Love Always,
Dad
