Bako, etc

On Sunday we took an epic drive to Bakersfield.  Epic? Why yes, it took us over 4 hours to make the quick 2 hour drive.  Lots of traffic, some rain, and a sign indicating a 60 min delay on the grapevine.  No snow, just lots and lots of people.
However, once we arrived in Bako, we were pleased to spend 24 hours with our friends, the Halversons.  Their son is a mere 2 months younger than Garrett.  Garrett was very enamored with all of Bryce's toys.  He also slept better there than ever before.  He slept in til 9:15.  Wowza!
On Monday we went to Murray Family Farm.  We toured the farm, which included a giant jumping pillow...

some pumpkins...
Garrett was a little concerned about the wristband



duck races...


and a corn pit...


We also picked some apples and avocados.  The apples were pretty slim pickings, but we managed.


The boys seemed to enjoy being pulled around in the wagon. 

We had a great time, except for the 7+ hours we spent in the car.  So much for avoiding the Thansgiving mayhem on the freeways.

Seems to me the winded old man holding Garrett on the pillow is more used to a pillow under his head than under his feet.
Looks like a fun day - wagon rides and all.
Who is winning the hair-growing contest, Adam or Laura? You both look great.
