"Pumpkin Patch"....

To celebrate Elijah Brooks being officially free of RSV, we took him to the pumpkin patch. It was so different taking him this year as opposed to last year. Last year, he just sat on top of a pumpkin with his little chubby legs dangling and squealing with delight. This year, he was tough to keep up with! He ran from one thing to another wanting to try everything from the bouncy toys, to the duck race, to riding the "cow train", to feeding the goats, to "driving" the tractor, riding on a hayride, picking pumpkins (and throwing them - YIKES), riding on the mini tractors, and jumping hay bales! Since Jay was going to be traveling this weekend, he was able to take half a day off and we spent it together on the farm. Good memories for sure, and a great way to kick off my most favorite time of the year!


As soon as we pulled in the parking lot, he said enthusiastically, "John Deere Tractor".




His face cracks me up here


Bouncing with Daddy


In "heaven" driving the tractor


Mommy and EB on the "cow train". That was a tight squeeze.


Playing in the huge "Corn Sandbox". Ingenious idea in my opinion. Way less mess :)

Lovin' life on the farm

Feeding the baby goat :)


I asked him to "pose" and put his hands by his side. This was what I got! Not too bad for a 23 month old.

Love all of these pictures! I have very vivid memories of Will's first trip to the pumpkin patch and he did everything you described. He is such a cutie and we also had trouble with the "mullet" when Will was a baby. I still cut my boys hair. They were both bald until age 1 and Walker was almost 2 when he got his first haircut. Now, Will's hair is SO thick just like mine. I don't know why, but it seems like my kids' hair thickened and grew even more after I started cutting their hair.
