Pumpkin Festival

Well it's that time of year again, and we officially made our first pumpkin patch trip with Tyson this last weekend. Robin and I had no idea how big this "festival" was, and went completely unprepared: no stroller, no waggon, no cooler, no costumes...just a kid and a camera. Rookie parents. Next time we'll know better, but had a great time nonetheless! Ty loved seeing all of the farm equipment, vendors, food, rides, and kids dressed up in ALL kids of costumes. He was too little to care too much about a lot of the activities, but he loves walking around and people watching and it made for a great Saturday morning family outing.

Site seeing from his favorite spot.

Catching bubbles from a really tall bubble machine. Pure joy.

We made a popcorn hand out of rubber gloves, candy corn, and popcorn. Ty just didn't understand why that wasn't considered "snack" (hard to explain to a toddler that hundreds of hands digging into barrels of these ingredients just didn't seem sanitary enough o eat...)

Time to head to the pumpkin patch!

Juuust takin it all in with daddy.

Watching some farm equipment run.

And now for the highlight of the morning...the "race track!" A bunch of toddlers scooting around a track was hilarious. And I think Robin had as much fun as Tyson did ;-)

Leaning into the turn like a pro.

Robin's face says it all in this picture.

High-fiving the biggest cow Ty had ever seen.

Family time, people-watching and having snacks on the grass.

Which of course has to include wrestling with daddy - a daily activity.

Hay ride back to the parking lot!

All tired out from a very exciting morning.

Pretty crazy to think we'll be hauling TWO kids to the pumpkin patch next year!
