Thank goodness for Syndication

How could I have missed this episode?

Thanks always, Dale

[aliens300c]

Hello Sir, This is the first video I've watched of yours and I found it touching. My family is dwindling after the passing of my mother, Grand parents and a close friend. This year I am starting a new tradition with the family, We're doing a Shriners Hospital toy run with our family and my car club. Hopefully our new tradition will bring the rest of my family closer, as it seems your pumpkin tradition has yours.

P.S. Subscribed, 5 stars. :)

[liquidpromises]

Aw, Dale, this is absolutely beautiful! I always love your family videos. Your children are wonderful. <3

[annspade]

SUCH a beautiful family! Looky Cooper with glases... and Kinsley talking and walking! Oh man, a lot can happen in just a year. I say "just" but dag... already a year???

What an awesome video, Dale. Great narration, wonderful setting, great angles. You've got such a good eye for these things. I love it! Kiss and hug the family for me!!

Miss you guys!

Oh Dale- you just get better and better! I mean this is some first rate stuff, no longer just a home video. It's a short film! You could enter this in a film festival. It's just beautiful.

I CAN'T BELIEVE KINSLEY IS TALKING!

[markvergeer]

Nice halloween family tradition!

Cheers, Mark

[HowieReportingLive]

5 Stars!

[ChadderCheeze]

Great to see you Dale. It's certainly been a while, and I'm guilty of the same :) These family videos you make are going to mean more to your kids (and grand kids)than you could ever even imagine. Priceless isn't even the word.

[Jassie26]

Kinsley looks so much like her daddy! She is a beautiful little girl. And Cooper is very handsome. Your little ones are getting so big. I love your videos. They are so cute and sweet. Great video Dale. :)

Hope you have a Happy Halloween.

[justpassnthru]

Gosh Dale, I actually got teary eyed at this one! I'm sure, 30 or 40 years from now, Cooper will too. Be assured he will remember moments like this, even without video.

[kopkitty]

Most people do not like to see the years go by, thinking how much they have left behind. Seeing your video makes me think how wnderful it is that the years do go by, and bring so much joy and the promisse of the things yet to happen. You have a wonderful family, Dale :) thank you for sharing yet another pumpkin picking with us! :D

[DaleATL2]

Thanks you kk!

It was bittersweet putting the beginning of this one together because it became readily apparent how quickly time flies. The only thing that makes me feel a little better about it all is that I am documenting as much as possible. So when I am old and feeble, I can relive it all through videos! LOL

*big hug*

[Lottiesaurus]

squeeee! Lovely Lovelyness! :D

[DaleATL2]

*squeeees back*

*hurts throat*

*takes lozenge*

*feels a little better*

*vows never to squeeee so loudly again*

:-P

HUG!!

[dickponderous]

beautiful viddy sir. I have some very special news I'll be sharing soon.

[DaleATL2]

First of all, thank you!

Secondly, you are such a TEASE!!! I can;t wait to hear the big news!! w00t!

[f3xpgm]

A year is gone? Incredible! Thanks for the beautiful video! Hugs to you and family! ;)

[DaleATL2]

Time flies doesn't it Felix?!

Hugs back to you and yours!

-peace

[whistonlass]

Dale, your video has me smiling from ear to ear. Thanks for sensitively sharing such precious family memories. We don't have pumpkin farms here in the UK but I have memories of them from my Canadian homeland. :)

Jacquie (UK) x

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Jacquie!

I am so glad to hear that you were smiling so big!

That makes my day!!

[vaasnaad]

Great to see you posting again, Dale! This video was just beautiful. Ian has a fall festival at his school on the 31st and I'm taking off to help. Now I just can't wait!!

[DaleATL2]

Take your video camera Alf! You gotta document! LOL

:-D

[LMSStars]

This is seriously one of the cutest videos Ive ever seen. I love family traditions. I'm 20 years old now and there are still traditions I still do with my 24 year old brother and my parents to this very day.

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Lauren! Be sweet!

:-D

[nHisImage]

What will be really cool is when they bring their kids to do this.

[DaleATL2]

MAN!! Don't make me any older than I already am!!

LOL

[aeshma28]

thanks for sharing this... I remember the one from 2006.  your kids are sure growin' fast! So precious!

[DaleATL2]

They are. They ARE!!

I feel sooo old!

LOL

[lllutzke]

I love watching videos of your family. You have such a talent for editing. Happy Halloween.

[DaleATL2]

Thank you Linda!!!

Happy Halloween to you as well!

[nomiSimple]

excellent editing and the use of foreground elements is very nice also.

[DaleATL2]

Thank you my friend!!

:-D

[kittenstomper]

You are just so good at putting these together...well done...they are getting soooo big

[DaleATL2]

Thanks!!

And I KNOW! They ARE getting so big! It is only the more obvious when I put the old videos at the beginning of this one! LOL

I am feeling soooo old right now! :-D

[momtohaileyandfive]

Beautiful video. I love watching them. When was Cooper born, if you dont mind me asking. My son was born 2-14-05. They look about the same ages.

[DaleATL2]

Thank you Laura! Cooper was born 3-09-05. So you are VERY observant! LOL

:-D

[Cla452]

Dale! That´s what makes a great video maker: the sensitive to capture those special moments and turn them into beautiful memories. I´m glad we from YouTube can also have a little of your memories. And the kids are so big!!!! I send my love to all of your =DD

[DaleATL2]

Thank you my wonderful Brazilian friend!

:-D

[Skrapper]

Well done Dale!

When your kids grow up they're going to remember this time spent with their parents with joy. And when they have their kids they'll make the tradition last from generation to generation...i think i'm getting to much ahead, but that's the way it goes, hehehe!

Take care Dale and family ;)

[DaleATL2]

Thanks António. Yeah, let's not get that far ahead just yet. haha

Time is already passing too quickly for me! LOL

peace!

[SWTPEA64]

oh,how i miss those days.....my daughter is 24 yrs old now :) seems like she was born yesterday......they grow sooooo fast.

[DaleATL2]

They certainly DO grow fast. It was bittersweet to look through the old vids and put them together at the beginning of this one.

:*-D

[noahsark1962]

That was really good.Looks like you all had fun.Cooper doesn't call them punkies anymore?:)

[DaleATL2]

Thank you Jamie!

:-D

[Zublime75]

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Salime!!

I hope that your "homework" is going well. ;-)

[PrincessDiana161]

This was so beautiful! I put it on my Ipod!

[DaleATL2]

WOW! Thanks Di! You made my little vid MOBILE!! :-D

w00t!

[winger1212]

That's so wonderful and sweet. Put together so well too. Great job Dale!

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Wendy! That means a lot coming from you!

HUG!

[OHTXAZ]

How sweet is that? My Son & His ex took My Grandaughter to the Schnepf Farm's Pumpkin & Chili Party. They had alot of fun. Bethany's piggy was the winner in the pig races, so She got a piggy nose to wear. ;0)

Roberta

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Roberta!!

Ahh, pig races!! I wish we had those too!

I would love to see my kids wearing pig noses after their pig won. That would be hilarious!

:-D

[Blargaldalien]

Wonderful job,Dale.

The mini crescendo at 1:33 as the boy rose up,shows your skill at scoring. You definately could have a career scoring

SuperBowl beer commercials!!

favorited..

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Blargal!!

If I could get a gig (even for ONE year) doing a Superbowl beer commercial, I could probably RETIRE!!! :-D

[otzberg]

You have a great story telling voice, you picked that music out really well and most important of all, it made my Friday afternoon! I really think this is a wonderful video for all the right reasons. (and I do love them tiny pumpkins you were showing). Can only hope to have a family tradition of my own one day... Thank you for doing videos again.

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Claus! I am so glad that this made your Friday afternoon! That makes my day too!

:-D

I can't wait until you get to show off your new family....soon!!!!

[eaglecrowowl]

You got it up! Dale you rock the pumpkin patch video like no one else. This is amazing, a total treasure, a DaleATL2 masterpiece!!!!! And you have the most wonderful cast of characters. Great casting!!! haha. Big smile to you. :)

[DaleATL2]

Hehe! Thanks Caren. My new moniker: Pumpkin Patch Video Rocker!!! haha

And thanks for your kind words! Your critiques are always the most meaningful to me because of your artistic talents and editing skillz!

Your "Engine" vid inspired me to look at the possibilities of this year's pumpkin video in a different way (i.e. narration and cinematic quality). So you CONTINUE to inspire me!

:-D

[tapr00t123]

i miss my family back home!!!!

[DaleATL2]

I know how ya feel. I miss my family ever day while I am at work! ;-)

[steviezine]

Cute video. Every year over Columbus Day weekend my wife and I would go "over the mountain" to the next county to buy the pumpkins for the kids and the pies. Alas, the eldest (daughter) is away to college and we didn't go this year. Such is life.

[DaleATL2]

Thanks Stephen!

Yes, time does pass all too quickly! That is why I am feverishly documenting as much of it as I can. I am sure, if God allows, I will be watching all these home vids with nostalgic tears one day in the not-too-distant future.
