Pumpkins and more!
We all had a great time exploring the grounds of Schnepf Farms with our South friends! We all left a little sweaty and dirty, but it’s a small price for making some memories :). A few memories from our time…
-The Carousel worker guy wouldn’t let me stand next to Asher on a moving horse, and assured me that he would be ok with me sitting just a horse away. I’m still not sure why I agreed to this, but I’m glad I did because I felt like Asher got bigger. He felt like such a big boy. He just sat there holding on to the horsey with both hands giggling. It was probably because he was scared, but he’s too strong of a boy to let on, ha!
-We enjoyed a lunch together in this nice, shaded, tablecloth-covered picnic area. It was so nice. Which, in hindsight, is mainly the reason why we think we were breaking the rules and sitting in an area that people pay for. I guess the “free” sodas and water on ice should have been our cue, ha!
-We tried to let Asher ride a pony for the first time, but he was terrified and threw a fit. So he watched his friend from the sidelines instead and seemed to be happy with his decision :).
-Peter found a chunk of the wooden train laying on the ground waiting for an injury to happen. This kinda perfectly describes Schnepf to me. They have so many seemingly fun things for kids, but everything is so janky! Don’t get me wrong, the kids love it, I just wish the management people would take a tool box and a paint brush and walk around that place.
-I was talking with Jeremy and turned around to find Asher lining up some pumpkins!!! Oh, be still my heart! Made me feel like there is still some hope for a little type A personality :).
We had a great morning with our friends, and Asher took a 3 hour nap which was cause for a pizza celebration! It was a great day!

Fun, fun! I can’t believe that the guy wouldn’t let you hold Asher or stand close to him “just in case.” I think I would have been freaking out if that was Grant up there w/o me to catch him. Cute pics.
I somewhat read the “horse” thing wrong. Oops…not as scary as I envisioned/read it at first.
I LOVE that picture of the 3 of them looking into the pumpkin patch (or dirt lot-ha)
Such a great day and I am so glad you got a 3 hour nap…that really is reason for celebration.
And I think Asher lining up those pumpkins on his own was the highlight for me too-so funny!
I love how intent Asher is lining up those pumpkins…ha! And that cracks me up that he was totally fine with the horse…but the pony was terrifying!! 🙂 Looks like you guys had a great time!
I am happy that you had success on the carousel without standing next to him, that is a big deal. The picture of him sticking out his tongue is so cute too!
Those three friends are precious together. What a gift. I loved your pictures, Rachel. A wonderful day together I can see.
Lots of memories were made for sure! How fun! I love your recap–especially your newfound hope that he might have a little A-type in him! You’ll have him making lists in no time, I’m sure 🙂
Looks like a great day for all!
