Plant a seed...

...and watch it grow!

Every year, the kids look forward to going to Opas' garden and get excited to see what is growing each year.

When Opa called to tell us the pumpkins were ready to pick, we all piled into Dan's truck and headed up north to pick out our perfect pumpkins.

Each of the kids ran to the garden and instantly found what pumpkins they wanted.

We want to thank Opa for all of his time and effort he puts into his garden each year; with the corn, the tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberries, peppers, and the every famous pumpkins with the kids, we love everything about your garden.

Thank you Opa for your patience and memories we are able to pass down to each of the kids. They love coming over and know that they can have free rein to whatever they want. Nothing tastes better then fresh ripe food from Opa's garden.

The girls were asked one day by Opa when he came over, "Where is your garden?" and the girls were quick to answer, "If we had one, who would come eat your Opa? We are just helping you out Opa, so yours doesn't go to waste!" Opa laughed and said, "You are right!"
(Kids figure things out real quick!)

With Fall here, that means good-bye to the garden, so with the garden ready to be tilled, we are already looking forward to Opa's garden next year! You can plan that we will be there when we get the phone call that the corn is ready!

Thanks Opa! We love you and all your hard work! Keep it up!
