Pumpkin Patch!


Last weekend we took Jack to the pumpkin patch, and he absolutely loved it! It was a little bit chilly, mainly because it was also super windy, but it wasn't raining so we were excited about that. We got to take a tractor ride out to the patch and Jackson just clapped his hands and yelled, "yeah!" (his favorite word he says when he is excited) over and over again on the ride out. When we got to the patch he kept walking up to big pumpkins and putting his arms around them, thinking he could actually pick them up! I guess he didn't realize how heavy they are. He finally found a real cute baby pumpkin just his size that he loved and we took it back with us. He was really sad when we had to leave the patch. But back at the front of the farm there were some sheep and goats that you could pet and feed. I brought Jack over to them just to see if he would be too afraid of them or if he would like them. He walked right up to the cage, stuck his hand right through the opening in the fence and pet them! He loved them. He kept giggling and yelling, "Ba!" at them. At one point, one of the sheep stuck his head out of an opening and Jack stuck his tongue out and tried to give it a kiss! It was so gross, yet so funny at the same time. He just had a blast with those animals! We ended the day with a huge and super yummy carmel apple that John and I shared, and that was when we realized that life is good! :) It was a fun day at the pumpkin patch! We can't wait til next year to go again..... maybe next year Jack will try to ride the sheep :)

So cute. I miss Eugene. It was near impossible to find an actual pumpkin patch in Vegas! I love Lone Pine. Jackson is getting soo big.
