It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is on television, so that must mean it’s October. Time for the annual trip to the pumpkin patch!This is our 3rd year visiting Carpinito Brothers. I suppose it is a good time for a “then and now” photo journey. Comparing Owen’s first visit to this year’s, it looks like he’s starting to enjoy himself a bit more.
This year was a little less exciting than usual, mainly due to the heavy rain that has been coming down for the previous week. It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to make the most of it and pick out our Halloween pumpkins. However, as soon as Owen got near the u-pick area, his foot stepped down into a 6 inch deep pile of mud and completely covered his shoe. That was it for me, we were picking out our pumpkins from the parking lot. So, no cute pictures of Owen running through the fields of pumpkins this year.
We did do the obligatory tractor ride which is Owen’s favorite anyway. A funny moment happened while we were riding…I was sitting in the front with Owen and we were watching the huge tractor wheels rolling through the mud. I think I may have said something like, “Pee-yew! It smells like poo-poo (fertilizer)!” Owen locked on to the poo-poo statement and looked down at the mud in amazement. The next day, I asked Owen, “Did we ride a tractor yesterday???” And he answered, “Yeah! Bubba ride tractor! Bubba ride tractor in poo-poo!” Oops. My bad. But he is getting really good at recalling previous activities and using his words to remember and describe them!After the tractor ride, we picked out some pumpkins and got out of the mud-fest. We still have yet to do a corn maze, but maybe next year!
That boy sure loves his Dad!!
