Agape Valley Harvest Day

So, before I begin I know I promised to be a "better" blogger, and until a couple of weeks ago I was doing a stellar job. (at least in my estimation) However, it was about then that I started suffering with a bout of tinnitus. For those of you that are unfamiliar with tinnitus, it is an annoying and incessant ringing in the ear. I believe prolonged exposure possibly could make one go CrAzY. This nuisance has made it extremely difficult for me to focus enough to write and do a multitude of other tasks, and although it isn't gone yet, the intensity has thankfully dropped a couple of decibels. For those of you that pray, I would value your intercession. (:
Agape Valley - what a great place! The smell of fresh (and might I add FREE) hot apple cider in the air is enough to make one's mouth water and taste-buds soar. Add to this fresh baked pies, sausages, maple syrup, honey, and so much more, and you'll be in sensory overload. It's days like this that I find my corn allergy to be rather discouraging, as there are innumerable things I unfortunately can't eat and enjoy. On a side note Agape Valley also offers summer day camps for kids.
The weather yesterday was perfect (for fall that is) gray and overcast, and the place was buzzing with activity. Hayrides, ATV rides, games for kids, face painting, prize tents, and so much more... Gavin mostly enjoyed Agape's mascot Sammy the sugar shack squirrel, and the random person in the bee costume. And we enjoyed watching him...here are a few snapshots (:
Oh, and It was really nice to bump into a number of friends too...thanks for your help yesterday Deborah!

Gavin is wondering how he could possibly pick just one pumpkin.

Our "Little Hercules" loves feats of strength.

yes that's a gourd phone..in fact everything has potential to be a phone.

Pretending to sneeze a gourd out his nose...this one's for you April (:

Isn't he super cute? We think so but we are definitely biased.

That Bee is about to get Kung-Fu'd!

He sure loves giving "five big ones"

Gavin is mimicking or maybe even mocking the sugar shack squirrel haha

Power five!

I probably couldn't count the number of images I'm nailing this classic Hulk Hogan pose in.
