Pumpkin Patch

Last night we went out to Mother Nature's Farm to the pumpkin patch. It was lots of fun for all of us. Of course the first struggle started on the hay ride. Keaton wanted to get down and walk around so there was a little tantrum as we held him back from falling off a tractor, but once we went over a few little bumps he was happy to sit on the bench with us. Next we tried the bouncy house. We waited for a few bigger kids to get out then let him in. He never stood up but loved it when other kids would bounce around him. I was a little worried that he was never coming out....I certainly didn't want to crawl in and get him, but he did. Next was picking a pumpkin. Kids got to pick a 1 oz. pumpkin. This was another difficult task because he just wanted to walk back to the bouncy house. He did pick up a few, but in the end I tried to find a round one with the least amount of bird poop on it. Then came the decorating, he loved sticking all the stickers onto his pumpkin, then was very excited to carry it around, of course ten minutes later most of the stickers were pulled off and in his mouth. But it's still a cute little pumpkin. At the end of the night we saw a box where they were selling baby chicks for $5. Keaton loved listening to those little chicks peep, although he kept saying "quack" at them. But that was close, a baby chick looks a lot like a baby duck, so I give him credit. Just like we planned, he was worn out and on the way home fell right to sleep. Another good family outing.
