Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to Sweet Berry Farm today in Marble Falls to go to their pumpkin patch. Unfortunately when we got there (1.5 drive) we discovered they only take cash or check and all we had was $11 so we didn't get any of these huge $40 pumpkins.

Connor figured out really fast that this was a cool place where he could touch stuff.

Look what I found!

He got to ride in a wagon for the first time and learned what a pumpkin was too. He kept jumping/falling in and out of the wagon but I think he was so enamored by the pumpkins he didn't really seem to get hurt.

He thought this trailer with pumpkins in it was very cool. He ran back to this a couple times.

How cute!

I wanted a picture of him sitting here...he wanted to take all the little pumpkins/gourds off.

They had goats and horses too. He loves both these animals in his books and talks about them all the time at home, but seeing them in real life was a whole different story. Dave got him some food to feed them but he was too scared to enjoy them.

Ok time to go pick out a pumpkin!

These were the pumpkins we ended up bringing home. He really enjoyed the picking out process though. Once Dave put the first one in the wagon Connor got the idea and started trying pick up other pumpkins and put them in the wagon too! But he was hot and tired and ready to go by this time so we headed out. Evan slept most of the time in the Baby Bjorn.

Speaking of Evan..or Baby Spike as we sometimes call him....he's doing great for only being 12 days old. He pretty much sleeps at night. He'll eat anywhere from 3 - 5 times from 9pm to 7am so sometimes I actually get a good 6 hours sleep, not consecutively but total. He will let you set him down and sleep in the pack and play or bouncy seat so we actually get to eat too. All in all, I think we'll keep him! We go back to the dr on Thurs for a 2 week check up so we'll see how much he weighs!
