pumpkins.

even though i feel perfectly comfortable decorating for halloween before october

getting pumpkins is an october only festivity.

and once again, having a baby makes everything in life better.

we loaded this boy up, on another 100 degree day, and headed down the street to olufs

the local farmer with a pumpkin patch.

another benefit of living in the country: cute rural pumpkin patch less than a mile away

briggy liked the whole affair.

but the whole time i kept thinking "he's going to love this next year"

and again, horrible lighting

lonesome dove brig

why nate likes taking pictures/ doing things like this with our boy?

silly. 

but cute pictures

they had lots of fun things for little people, like the petting zoo. can i say how much i love dairy calfs?

they also had a toddler hay-maze.

we'll be back for sure next year :)

 oh, and we checked out the corn maze for a potential yw activity.

let me re-phrase that.

we checked out the corn path for a potential yw activity.

it didn't pass.

but

thank you olufs

and 

thank you lady picking pumpkins for giving us an extra whitey on the house
