The Gibbons' Family

Last Saturday we went to a local organic farm with our friends Chris and Becc Aust (along with their twins Landen and Lauren). It was an interesting experience. We got a lecture by the very nice Indian farmer who owns the Co-op farm about the importance of eating local, vine ripened food (true) but said we also needed to live like peasants (not so true). Darren said he quit listening to him when he got to the "peasants" part. Ellis got to see lots of farm animals like ducks, lambs, goats and a cute puppy (most of which lived in their yard-quite peculiar). Afterwards we grabbed lunch together (not at the farm!). Gotta love an 80 degree day in mid-October. And note to self...no more organic farms for awhile. Chris will never let me live it down but 2 yr olds are easy to please :)

It was the annual Hastings'/Gibbons' day at the pumpkin patch. We had such a great time and look forward to the trip all year. The kids just love this place. It was an absolutely beautiful October day as well.

How tall is Ellis this year? Well, we didn't find out as she was to busy eating popcorn to pay much attention to the height measuring thing.

Don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks--no, not mine, Leight's
