Pumpkin Patch

It FINALLY stopped raining long enough for the sun to shine on Saturday morning, which meant we hopped in the car and headed to a local apple orchard to pick out some pumpkins. Even though Landon really couldn't experience his first trip, he could at least look festive while hanging out in his car seat.

The anticipation was too much for Bennett to handle--he was fast asleep when we arrived! Because of all the rain, we decided not to walk through the muddy pumpkin patch to choose our prizes. Instead, we looked through the already picked pumpkins to make our selection. Bennett was so overwhelmed at first that all he could do was walk around and say "punkin!" Ryan and I picked out our favorites and tried to let Bennett pick his own, but he couldn't seem to make a decision, so we had to choose one for him!

Next, we headed inside to choose some apples to take home. Bennett didn't want to taste test any of them but loved looking in the crates.

Then, we went back outside to hang out with the animals. We saw ducks, goats, sheep, and pigs.

We HAD to stop to look at the tractor and take a pretend drive in it. Last week, Bennett's daycare teacher told me that she was surprised that he knew all his flashcards--even the tractor. If she could only see this, she'd understand why :-)

Bennett then had the chance to ride a tractor that was just his size.

Here's Landon with all our picks from the day! He was definitely the cutest pumpkin in the patch and even if he wasn't mine, I'd pick him and take him home!
