Pumpkin Patch, Block Party & Unicornucopia

It's definitely October!!!
After weeks of promises, Mom and Dad finally took me to the pumpkin farm. Here I am surveying the land.



I fed the animals. Nice Goatee, huh, Dad?



Hey, come back here! I've got some more corn for you.




We went on a hayride around the farm ( for fun AND to look at the new housing developments that back up to the pristine farm land).



A real vintage 1967 tractor pulled us.



Now, back to the pumpkins. Moms says I can pick out 2.



This is one . . .



and, let me see, ...



I took Mom on a hunt for Linus's great pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.




Look at the little baby pumpkin. I found several litle guys; it was like an Easter egg hunt in the middle of fall. But no great pumpkin this time, Linus.



I found plants that grow already made cotton balls. Now if I could only find the plants that grow cheese. . .



I liked the corn churner (for feeding the animals). The corn mazes, not so much. Sorry no photos from the corn mazes. They didn't rank high on my list!



I'm really starting to get the hang of this. Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me!



The night before the farm, we went to the annual block party (not be confused with the annual park party - what can I say, my neighbors like a good party).



Mom and I loaded up the crock full of chili and the corn bread into my red wagon and headed down the street to the festivities!



This is Dad and I standing outside the bounce house (sorry it's not pictured for the full effect). I thought the "tunnel" connected to the bounce house was rad, but I'm still not a bounce house guy. No offense to you bounce house aficionados!



I preferred to do some artwork in chalk. Hey, it's not everyday that Mom lets me draw in the middle of the street.



We had a blast at the block party. I especially liked the guitar and mandolin players and was groovin' all night long (until bed time, that is).



Last but not least, Aunt Rita was in town last week. I went to visit Rita and my cousins at cousin Hailey's school. The school was having their fall festival called the Unicornucopia!



Little Harper was along for the ride!



I liked the playgrounds. Can you imagine that?



Well, as you can see, I'm having a fantastic fall so far. The farm was awesome! It was free for kiddies under 2. I slid in under the wire. I can't pull that stuff after next weekend, when I officially "turn 2." Look out for the birthday bonanza weekend with Oma and Ocha. You won't be disappointed!
