A Day at the Pumpkin Fest 2008

Here are some memories from the Pumpkin Fest 2008 at the Yaphank Farm that I went to with the kids and my sister, Patricia.

They had a great time that day and the weather was beautiful.
We got to go on hayrides, walk through the corn maze somehow we came out the same way we went in! LOL, pumpkin picking, petting the animals, Lots of games for the kids and music that Emily counldn't resist dancing around the Farm too!!
Despite a couple of set backs like locking the keys in the car and losing my cellphone, which was returned...Thanks Lou!
We had a great time and can't wait to go back next year.

Shawn wanted to take a shot at singing too! So he sang the itsy bitsy spider, well thats what he thinks...LOL

Today was a special day for our little nephew Jack...He was the Ambassador of the American Heart Association Walk 2008. All of his family & friends gathered to walk for heart disease.
