Day at the Pumpkin Patch

Saturday we went to a local farm to pick a pumpkin. Daniel is getting excited about Halloween. He has no idea what Halloween is but he keeps seeing all the decorations and says "Mama! Halloween's coming!" He'll be even happier when he sees the candy being dropped into his bag. We met a group of friends at the farm and had a great time. The kids got to pet some animals. Daniel was not so sure when the horse sneezed VERY LOUDLY on him. The girls thought it was pretty funny :)

This was the first time Daniel rode a horse. He seemed to enjoy himself. As long as it wasn't the same horse who sneezed on him.

Leah is a pony riding pro and knows to turn, pose and smile for the Mamarazzi :)

After the pony ride and the hayride (no pics, sorry!) we got a wheelbarrow and went out to the patch to pick the perfect pumpkin. I think Dave had two perfect pumpkins in his cart before we picked the orange variety.

Of course Leah chose the largest one she saw. We immediately said "No" and told her to pose for a photo with it instead.

I told Daniel to sit on a pumpkin for a photo. He was not happy with the one I chose cause it was "too messy!" How come a pumpkin with a little dirt on it is too messy but he's OK with ripping apart his peanut butter sandwich and smearing it all over himself?

And finally the happy family with the chosen pumpkin :)

And cannot finish without adding :

Bring on those Rays! Go Phils!

Series starts Wednesday night. I still have a few nights to rest up.
