Pumpkin Picking 10.08.2012

Dear Conor,

On Monday neither Daddy nor I had to work because it was a holiday so we decided to use that time to go pumkpin picking!  Mommy had heard of a local farm that let you pick your pumpkin off the vine like Mommy used to do when she was a little girl and so she told Daddy that we were all going to go there to get our pumpkins.  We invited Grandma Janet and Grandpa Dennis along because they needed a pumpkin too.

There was so much to do at the farm besides just pick pumpkins.  You could pet animals, play on the swings, ride a cow tractor, go through a corn maze, play in a corn pit, jump on a huge air pillow, shoot a corn cannon, take a hayride, and of course, pick a pumpkin.  We did so many of these things while were were there........look at all the pictures we got!

You also did some swinging - I love your expressions in both these pictures - sometimes you get too excited for your own body and you make the most adorable faces!


Peek-a-boo with Grandpa
After playing we went to the 'barn yard' where we rode the cow train and fed the goats and saw the chickens.



Then it was time to take some pictures - you weren't too sure about this wagon and all the pumpkins but you let Mommy indulge anyways!





This is one of Mommy's favorite pictures from the afternoon - you and Daddy cuddling when it got a little chilly.
 And what trip or outing wouldn't be complete without funny face cut-outs?!?!?!
