2017 Pumpkin Patch

This year, much like last year, has seen some SERIOUS changes in our lives that have required a LOT of extra time and emotion to deal with stuff.  Last year, my sister in law, Molly, died unexpectedly and threw our lives into a spiral.  She was very involved in all things that we did as a family from vacations to the kids games in various sports from football, soccer, basketball and so on. 

This year, my wife's momma died and had a less profound spiral, but craziness to deal with none-the-less.

So what happens when these types of things happen?

Your good friends truly show themselves as good friends and that's what we have here!  And that's what we have here in this post.

I've mentioned in the past that we pick up a couple of extra strapping young lads from school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, who may or may not go by the names Max and Jack.

Their momma announced last Friday when the kids had no school, that she was taking the boys up to a pumpkin patch for fun and/or games and would be willing to pick up extras if they wanted to tag along.

Our boys were all in!
