It's Fall Ya'll

We got some pumpkins from Grace's patch and used some old decorating kits for a quick fix. 

And on Sunday night, Daryl went to the church's Trunk or Treat to hand out lots of candy to the neighborhood kids. 

 

A Sea of Orange - Pumpkin Time!

Last Saturday the pumpkins arrived at Grace UMC Venice for their annual Pumpkin Patch. Our whole family was on hand to help unload. 

Wesley had a perfect spot at the edge of the trailer. He was the right height to receive the pumpkins from the truck without those folks having to bend down too much. 

The rest of us spent time inside the air conditioned truck, passing pumpkins from the back to the front. 

There was a tremendous amount of volunteers from a local school and also Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and church folks. It only took an hour to get everything unloaded. 

 

Pumpkin Patch Time

Sunday afternoon was Pumpkin Time! The pumpkins arrived at 3pm and we had a great crowd of volunteers show up to transform our empty patch into an orange wonderland for the next couple of weeks. This is our 17th year of church Pumpkin Patchs in the last 21 years of ministry!  

Love our beautiful Pinterest worthy Patch! 

  

Wesley Update

He's been such a good helper lately. This past Sunday after church, when he just got home from camping, we put him to work out in the Pumpkin Patch. We were all trying to get the patch setup for pumpkin delivery this week. We needed someone with long arms to get some dirt that had fallen down in one of the holes - and guess who had the longest wingspan? He did great! 

He's also been helping at Wonderful Wednesdays as an assistant with the woodworking class and this was the nativity set he brought home that they made this 9 weeks.
