Pumpkin Patchery

This has been a great weekend for Team Pagan.  

I did roughly 800 loads of laundry on Saturday, Jon and I cleaned and ran a bunch of errands, we got to hang out and relax as a family AND we were able to see good friends that we haven't caught up with in months due to super-busy-third-year-med-student-don't-even-think-about-governing-your-own-schedule schedules.  

Three things from this weekend are worth noting:

1. Our son is 11 months old today! 

2. Yesterday marked David's first ride in a wagon (video forthcoming).  For our little boy, life is sweetest outside, in a wagon, with buddy Miranda, being pulled around the block by Uncle Keith. 

3. Today was David's first trip to a pumpkin patch!  Cue pictures!

These are our friends, Wyatt, Ryan and Margie.  They suggested that we get together at the pumpkin patch--a fabulous suggestion.

There was a corn pit!  This was the first time any of us had ever seen one--so neat!

Wyatt showing David how to traverse the corn pit.

David, not as enthusiastic about le corn pit...

"There's corn EVERYWHERE!  Will someone please take me out of here now?!"

Oooh, and then we went on a hay ride!  Second only to the wagon ride, life is pretty sweet sitting on a bale of hay while getting pulled around by a giant tractor.  Plus, Jenn was wearing her most pumpkin patchy shirt.  Like being held by a picnic:)

I know he looks skeptical, but he really did enjoy it.  Lots of "oooh!" ing and pointing at plants and scarecrows and butterflies.

Change of scenery--sitting with dad, mid "ooh."

There was also a hay maze (next to the corn pit)!  Perfect place to explore.

Walking to dad in tiny green cords:)

Practiced some more walking in the grass by the pumpkins.  T-Rex posture.

Step...

Step, step, step!  

I was quick enough to snap this photo, but not quite quick enough to keep the dirt out of his mouth...  He is a little boy.

Ok, I know that two in a row just looks reckless, but he started out by trying to push the wheel barrow, and then discovered that the handles would be perfect for chewing.  Too cute not to photograph.

This place was beautiful.  By the end of the day it had gotten a little muggy, which is why our son looks discontent, but we all had a great time AND we found the perfect pumpkins to grace our porch!
