Pumpkin Patch

This year, since we live near so many farms, we decided to go to a pumpkin patch and pick out our own pumpkins rather than buy them at the store (so far each year we have done something new... first year we carved ones we grew ourselves, last year was store bought, and this year is farm purchased!).

Aaron fell asleep in the car on the way there so at first he wasn't terribly animated... but then he saw the ponies and the tractor ... and he took off running!

I like how he looks for me after I leave again

Aaron played a large role in picking our pumpkins

He ran around saying, "BALL! BALL!" and trying to pick them up

 So Eric helped him hold one

He kept trying to go back to the tractor

There were some super cute chicks... Aaron was so gentle and petted them so sweet...

 And ... he tried to kiss them...

We had so much fun!

We'll carve the pumpkins on Monday - I'll post pictures when they are done!
