We went to a pumpkin patch today and got a bunch-- 3 to carve, 2 more for pie, and a couple of others for J's lab. Last year I went alone with a newborn and Sam, and went to 3 different farms before I found a pick-your-own (i.e. wander through the fields), which Sam and I both had somehow decided was a necessary part of the experience. This year all four of us went, and we knew which farm to go to. Much easier all around!
It was a gorgeous sunny crisp fall day.
Sam found an earthworm in a clump of dirt:
We've also begun construction of Sam's halloween costume. Tonight we got back from dinner with friends to find the first painting job on it dry. Sam tried it on. "I love my costume so much. What's the opposite of breaking your heart?"
Sam's comments (here, and the love coming out his finger when he boops Frida) are so precious. The shots at the farm and of the yogurt are great! I agree that going out in the field ought to be part of the pumpkin-picking process. Was very sad that the closest such opportunity out this way is apparently 30 miles away and require a steep cover charge just to get into the parking lot. Without pumpkin picking and fall leaves, we feel like we're missing the turn of the year here in the Rockies.
