The Pumpkin Patch

It seems like Sundays are the big day for us to hit the town and do fun things lately. Maybe it's because each Saturday is filled up with activities until about 1pm and then it's nap time. So this Sunday we hit the pumpkin patch at Remlinger Farms in Carnation; joining us was Sam's friend Jackson and his family and friends. It was a beautiful day to explore, enjoy the hayride, and eat a caramel apple. Yum!

Sam stands tall.

Is it me, or did this gourd look at him funny?

"Yeah Mom, this is a nice pumpkin, but that other one is better."

There's Jackson, hamming it up.

By popular (and repetitious) demand, Sam and Mom took the tractor-pulled hayride twice in a row!

The li'l man underestimated this pumpkin's heft.

He really enjoyed his first caramel apple, requesting many, many bites.

Before we headed home, we got one quick family photo.

Something we've figured out

First the wisdom: when you have someone take photos of your kid, and he's a good photographer with a good camera, you're going to have a LOT of photos to choose from, and it's going to take a while to go through them. Now the update: Sam ran his first 5k this weekend and did pretty well. He finished in 42 minutes which is pretty good for an 8-month old. Add to that his roll-over and sit up combo, and you're looking at a triple threat!

First pic at the pumpkin patch.

And with grandma, enjoying a great autumn day.

He's quite interested in the stem.

When the ground is wet, a wheelbarrow will keep your footsies clean.

He just loved being there.

Music class fun...the formatting is screwy right now, but the pictures speak for themselves.

Awwww. Too cute.

Dad's making Sam laugh.

Well anyway, the fish was -huge- and wow, did it put up a fight!

Too dapper.

Another photo that you need to click on to get the full effect of.
