One of the local churches holds a pumpkin patch each year and even though he won't remember it, I wanted to take Nathan to commemorate his first fall and Halloween season. I bought a smocked longall in an auction on Facebook (which, by the way, was a super stressful experience!). It ended up being HUGE but I had to take advantage and dressed him in it anyway.
It was a cool(ish) morning and there were tons of pumpkins of all sizes. They even had green warty ones and white striped ones. So pretty!
N can't really sit up yet but the pumpkins came in handy in propping him up. Too bad it was pretty bright and glarey, because the poor guy wouldn't crack a smile.
He was enthralled with the sights of all the pumpkins and kids running round and wouldn't be bothered with looking at the camera.
We even tried to stick him in a wheelbarrow with our selects, but he was way too intrigued with the hay to even look up. I'm pretty sure a few strands wound up in his mouth. Oops!
We made it out with three pumpkins - one for each of us. Not the authentic farm experience I would have wanted but it was a fun family outing. I warned Ryan, though - next year we're going to a real pumpkin patch. We'll see if that pans out!
