Playing at home

This is Elias's impression of a "bad bee". He ran around chasing me like this. I think his fingers are the stinger.

Now one might think this is a king, but it was Elias pretending he was a pirate by the name of Archemedes.

Playing hard makes a boy hungry.

Larriland Farm

Exhausted boy = Elias being tired eventhough it was his mother that carried him to the apple picking and throughout the pumpkin patch.

Pumpkin picking = Uncle Chris picking the unripened green pumpkin Elias picked out.
Pumpkin holding = Uncle Chris holding the pumpkin for Elias, while Elias gives a half hearted smile for the camera.

Apple picking = pulling an apple with both hands off the tree, dropping it, and then picking it up off the ground.

Pumpkin Patch

It was a perfect Fall day here, so we went to the pumpkin patch and jumped off the stack of hay bales. Yeah, we're country.
