The last hoorah! for the ole' knee

Well, it is Gpa Van's turn for a new joint. Tomorrow he gets a new knee and the boys and I decided to go up to GB for the weekend to give the old knee a final workout. Gpa took us to our favorite pumpkin patch for a hayride, run in the corn maze and we got to pick out our own pumpkin. They were all pretty big this year. We had the most fun jumping on the hay...who needs a rainbow system when you have hay! Seriously, I think I will need to invest in some...it took a long time to get the boys out of the hay. And then the hay could double as the barriers in front of the tree at the end of the neighbor's sledding run....but that will be later in the year, I can not start to think of winter. The corn maze was also a huge hit...Peter loved sneaking up behind you.....remember that Billy Mahoney reference from Flatliners....gave me the chills again!It was stinking windy and cold...what happend the to the beautiful fall weather??? Gpa had to stand behind the sign to stay out of the wind. Say Happy Halloween! The next day we went out to a wildlife area for a hike.... This was the sugar shack along the trail but it was not open. We should come out here in Feb! The windy was less bone chilling and we were able to see a lot of critters....Gma spoted a couple garter snakes...that was exciting. The colors were beautiful....hope the wind calms a bit so we can enjoy the colors a little longer! Good Luck with the surgery Gpa!!
