The Harvest Farm

The Harvest Farm is a place north of us here in Wellington ran by the Denver Rescue Mission. It is a place for men to escape the pressures and temptations of the big city and work on a farm. Every year, they put on a big "to do" with corn mazes, barrel train rides, hay rides, corn cannons, petting zoo and much more. Our favorite thing to do is the maze while snacking on some Kettle corn (yum!!!) This is the 3rd annual Blehm family trip to the Harvest Farm and the easiest so far with Zachary. I only had to carry him half the time this trip. :) Here our some pictures of the fun!

Zachary finally posed for us on this tractor!!! (This is a Zachary success!!! Hopefully one of many as he does not like his picture taken like his mother) :0

The famous game called "Operation"

We found a game that is fairly easy to play with really young children. The game is "Operation" and for those who haven't played it, its really easy. You have to successfully remove various pieces from this guys body without touching the sides (sounds bloody but its not :o ). The game buzzes really loud if you bump the sides of the holes, and this part might be the best. The kids jump at the buzzes and cheer when they successfully remove the pieces. They love paying each other for the successful operations (these surgery prices are cheap compared to nowadays :)) Although, I have not recently heard of anybody in real life needing a "brain freeze" removed from their head (LOL!)

My blanky

Our little Linus loves his blanket. Zachary has attached himself to this random blanket at our home. It can be found with him all day long. If you dare take it away, your asking for big problems as Thomas and Rebekah has found out. If we try to switch it with another one to wash it, Zachary knows the new one is an imposter!!

Little Miss Bossy

Does anybody recall the little books containing shapes known as characters called Mr. Happy or Mr Grumpy? Well we have a little girl we lovingly refer to as Little Miss Bossy. This has quietly started after Rebekah turned four. Usually reserved, Rebekah pipes up every now and then, telling somebody what to do.
This happened the other night when Jeni and I were dancing in the kitchen (yes, we do that) and Rebekah shouted "dip her, dip her". This caught us both off guard. We don't even know where she learned about that part of dancing (no, we do not watch "Dancing With The Stars"):0 This little bossy side of Rebekah came out once again at Church. She told me to drop off Zach in the nursery, then drop Thomas off. Mom was told to take her to Sunday School while holding Nathan. She also gives directions in the car daily now. Rebekah also gives us a full report of what Thomas and Zachary does and how we should "talk to them".


See the resemblance? Its astounding!!!
