Nuts about the Pumpkin Patch

We are just nuts about the Mitchell Farms Pumpkin Patch!

Today, we went to the Pumpkin Patch at a farm out from Collins, MS. It was wonderful! There was a ride through the farm explaining the equipment, crops grown and history. This brought back fond memories of my childhood days as my Dad was also a farmer. There were acres and acres of sunflowers, which were beautiful and added to the festivities.

Austin enjoyed the grass maze and Adriann had fun on a tire swing. We each came home with a pumpkin, so there should be plenty of pies, breads, muffins and such to come!

Football Fever!

Friday nights this fall have been spent at football games! There's nothing like High School Football games. Although the school we're at isn't having a great season AT ALL, it's still fun and with Austin in the band we've traveled to every game! We've also been to a few USM games. One Saturday began with a sunny beautiful day but the rains came at kickoff! We stayed until the bitter end and had a rain soaked good time! :) (You can see in the picture that by the end of the game not many folks had stayed to endure the elements! Must have been fair weather fans!!!)

The Spirit of Sumrall

Austin has enjoyed participating in the high school band this semester. The school has an excellent band program with 21 straight years of all superior ratings. This year was no different. They are not large in size, however the quality is superb! This past weekend, they took Overall Grand Champion as well as several other awards at the contest they entered, beating out some larger top notch schools.

Way to go Spirit! We are proud of you, Austin.

Here's a few pictures from the past weekend.
