Well…several years passed, and we quickly discovered that Santa had brought us a trampoline that was perfect for small children, but when big children got on it, the...

Pumpkin carving at the State Fair?  Really?  If you stop by to see Farmer Mike, you will realize (like I did), that it’s time to step up your pumpkin carving game!  Our annual trip to the State Fair of Texas is always one of my favorite adventures!  This year, we saw several things we had never seen before.  One of my favorites was Farmer Mike and his giant pumpkins that he carves! I’m not talking about carving a typical pumpkin face with triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a crooked mouth, I’m talking real artwork!  Amazing carvings that are so detailed...
