Gentry Farm

Last Saturday, Jude, J.P. and I went to Gentry Farm in Franklin with our good friends and former neighbors, Rob, Ann Marie and Ayden Elliott.  First, we stopped by their house for pancakes, then we drove down to Franklin.  As always, it was great to see them.

Ayden and J.P. are growing up so fast.  It's crazy to watch them together.  It seems like yesterday that we were walking around the neighborhood with them in strollers.  Now, we talk about their schools, what they're learning and general kid stuff.  Not baby stuff, but kid stuff.  Time passes by so quickly.

Predictably, the kids loved Gentry Farm.  They played in the barns, walked through a hay bale maze (in a barn) and picked pumpkins from the pumpkin patch.  Actually, they didn't "pick" pumpkins,  They found them, slightly hidden in the patch, kind of like an Easter Egg hunt.  The four of us laughed and laughed, as they pulled out pumpkin after pumpkin and lined them up on the path.  Finally, they each picked out a pumpkin for us to buy and take home.

On the way home, we stopped by for lunch at the Bunganut Pig in Franklin.  Of course, I love the Pig so it was a real treat for me to take everyone for lunch there.

Really, just a nice fall Saturday morning with Rob, Ann Marie and Ayden.  We miss them but it's always good to get together.
