Pumpkin Patch Kids

We took the kids to Rocca Berry Farm a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect and we had so much fun. There are tons of things for the kids to run around and do, not to mention a ride on a wagon to the pumpkin patch. Jonathan and Johanna both rode ponies this year. The first thing Jonathan wanted to do was climb on the giant hay bales. Johanna had fun checking out the hay bales too.


There are plenty of animals to check out at Rocca Berry-goats, pigs, rabbits, ponies, chickens, and llamas. Johanna probably enjoyed the animals more than Jonathan.

We got two large pumpkins at the pumpkin patch, which we took to Amber & Jeremy's pumpkin carving party last weekend. Pictures will be posted soon. I think Rocca Berry will continue to be an annual fall outing for us.

Scary Moment

We recently had a very scary night with miss Johanna. She went to bed just fine last Thursday night. I went upstairs around 9:30 and she was sitting up in bed with a bad barking cough and having trouble breathing. I decided to let her sleep on me for a few hours so that she'd stay elevated. By midnight she was still having trouble breathing and was becoming more lethargic. Dusty and I decided that she needed to go to the emergency room before she stopped breathing completely. I took her to the ER and they determined after giving her two respiratory treatments and a steriod for swelling that she has the croop. She had her check-up on Monday and got the all clear from her doctor. She is doing much better. But she sure had us scared. We hope she doesn't have any more trips to the ER anytime soon.
