Pumpkin Patching

John and I have always loved visiting pumpkin patches, and going with a baby in tow makes it all the more festive.

Pumpkin hats are obviously festive.

First we visited our tried and true pumpkin patch - Farmer John's.

Orelia liked it a lot, especially since she got a hitch a ride with Daddy.

Farmer John was happy to see that we had a little one this year - a "new customer" he said.

We bought lots of pumpkins, and of course snagged a stalk of brussels sprouts.  Our porch is now almost as festive as the neighbors' with their fake cottony spiderwebs and Grim Reapers.

We next visited a couple of kid-laden farms, where we thought it necessary to subject Orelia to her cow costume.

First up we visited Pastorino's.

Like anyone with a heart, pretty much anyone that walked by our little cow oohed and ahhed.

Orelia didn't mind her costume a bit, and didn't even flinch at the drizzle.  I cannot believe how good natured she is sometimes.

We love our little calf.

We next went to the farm across the street - Lemos Farm.

While waiting in line for the hay ride, Orelia nodded off.

And she stayed that way through the whole ride.  Next year maybe she'll open her eyes and catch a view of the Halloween happenings.  I know we'll be back!
