The Rowe Family: October 2008

Okay so last Saturday we went to Odum with the church to Poppell Farms. I really love going there, we always have so much fun! There is so much to do there and Austin really enjoyed it even more this year, since he's 3 1/2 years old! Gosh I can't believe my boy is that old now! Crazy how time flies! We first started out with the Corn Maize there! I can't imagine trying to go through that thing at night!! We cheated sooooo many times, just trying to get back out! LOL! The corn wasn't nearly as high as it was last year. It was only about waist high, last year it was over my head! Anyway as you can see Austin had a blast!!

Austin and Shaylee, who is Derek's cousin Alvin's daughter, held hands and ran all through the maize. I got some really cute pics of them!

Next we decided to do some of the activities like the petting zoo, duck races and this homemade slide!!! This thing was super fast and Austin hit his tail when he came flying out! It must not have hurt him too bad because he went back up it a couple of more times. Well some of the adults with us also went down it. Well Derek's cousin Alvin took Shaylee (who's only 16 months old!) up there and let her go down and then he decided to go down it too. Well as soon as he came out, he hit his tail and then stood up to walk off and PASSED OUT!! They thought he had like a seizure because when he passed out, his eyes rolled into the back of his head and his arms kind of drawed up. He also had hit the back of his head when he passed out! It was scary! He came right back too, but the ambulance was called and they checked him out and he ended up going on the Emergency Room to get checked out. Although not in the ambulance! He refused to ride in there! Anyway, the rest of us stayed at the farm while his wife took him....come to find out he broke his tailbone and passed out basically from the pain!!!! LOL! When all this happened, me, Derek and Austin were taking pictures together so we missed the actual fall, but quickly went over there when we saw Alvin laying on the ground. I so wanted to snap a picture of him laying there, but I wasn't sure how serious he was then or I would have! LOL! Because now it is funny and we are still ragging him!! That slide is dangerous though!!! Check it out!!!

Well while Alvin was at the ER we went on the hayride to the pumpkin patch. All of the kids had a really good time. And we did too! :) I was wore out by the time we left! We had a whole day of fun!! Here are some of my favorite pics from the day!
