The annual Schienbein family trip to the Country Mercantile today was AWESOME!
That place has always been such fantastic part of our Autumn traditions.
When we were there last year, I was pregnant with Elin. We were also in the midst of a house selling and buying, so it was a very hectic. But this year, we had hours of time, and the weather was beautiful.
Even though Elin and I didn't climb up the hay pyramid, we watched Brian, Tayler, and Carson scale it, and still had a great time.
Then, Carson and Tayler gave the hay bale maze a shot. They did great. And kept going back for more. And when Carson finished, he ran up to me and said
"Mom! I run TOO FAST!!!"
Then, it was off to the patch! Carson was pretty stoked that we would be riding
a tractor out to the pumpkins! We searched.......
And quality checked......
And finally selected the perfect ones.
I hope we are able to go to the Mercantile every year. As we were riding the tractor back to the "barn", as my family sat around me, I looked at the beautiful rows, and rows, and rows of big orange pumpkins, then at my healthy, happy kids, and I could help but think about how lucky I am. Days like today remind me that
THESE are the best days of my life.
