This year we got to go to the big Pumpkin Patch in Marble Falls - Zachary got a little more out of it than
last year! He took a nice nap on the way there so he was a little disoriented at first, but it was a beautiful day for it.
He warmed up to the idea pretty quickly though - there were all kinds of pumpkins (and gourds) here!
There were lots of people and lots of fun things to do.
45 cents a pound - what a deal!
I took this picture to show the little baby in the background. What kind of crazy person would bring a tiny baby to a big pumpkin patch? :-) There were quite a few there, actually.
Zachary really liked all the little pumpkins. He liked to pick them up and then throw them on the ground.
He got to pet his first horse and squeeze its ear.
And his first donkey! They had goats too but he wasn't as impressed with them.
While we were in this area we saw a couple of little boys wearing aggie jerseys, but we all got along. I overheard someone say 'look, it's Colt McCoy 18 years ago!'
After the donkeys we went on a hayride.
They made us get off the trailer and walk through that little tunnel. They said it was a haunted tunnel and all the little girls shrieked all the way through it. Zachary was mildly amused but didn't much care for all the shrieking.
After the hayride Zachary just ran around - one of his favorite things to do.
He found this little stash of pumpkins and picked them up and threw them down some more.
Then he and Daddy played in the sorghum fields.
We didn't do the corn maze this year - we heard it took an hour and none of us felt like wandering around in corn for that long.
We were going to get a pumpkin but by the time we were ready, the lines were too long, so once again we went home with just our memories. But next year we'll be ready!
Zachary had a really good time - we stopped a Dairy Queen for a quick grilled cheese and then he slept all the way home.
The End.
Zach liked the ring toss.
With Ms. Flor.
He really liked this little chair - he sat there for a long time until we finally had to let other kids get in to take a picture.
He also enjoyed wearing these funny glasses on the back of his neck.
That night we got dressed up in our monkey suit to go trick or treating.
Daddy carved the pumpkin the night before.
We went to a few houses with Zander and Georgia. I wish this picture was not blurry, but it's the only one I got - they were very cute! Zachary liked walking up to the door, but when offered candy he got shy. I'm sure he'll warm up to it by next year!
