We are lucky enough to live really close to this little farm that has a pumpkin patch (and where you can go cut down your own Christmas tree soon!) Nick and I couldn't wait for the first Saturday in October to take Leo to his first real pumpkin patch experience. It was still pretty hot but we sweated it out to see the pumpkins and, most importantly, ride the train.
The hayride was also a hit...although not quite as great because we had to sit on scratchy hay. We have the most finicky 2 year old! We sat up close to the tractor and eventually Leo ended up on Nick's lap, both of which made the hayride a bit better.
Seeing the pumpkins really wasn't that high on Leo's to-do list...there was a train don't forget! But we convinced him to check out a few piles...
He was far too nervous to climb on the pumpkins like all the other kids, but was eventually persuaded with a lot of help :) He is one cautious little guy!
He had fun chasing Dad around this giant spider...
He couldn't wait to get a wagon to pull around...however he picked the smallest pumpkins we could find! We looked at lots, but he kept insisting they were too big. We eventually found some tiny pumpkins by the check out and he was more than happy to pull them in the wagon...all the way out to the car!
He was happy to pick out 3, one for each of us, and wanted to hold them the whole way home :) Although it didn't really feel like fall because it was SO hot, we were happy to welcome in my favorite season with something that will definitely be a tradition for years to come!

Great tradition...and those pumpkins make a wonderful backdrop for photos! Leo just keeps getting cuter and cuter. :) (His dad was also pretty finicky about how things felt, by the way!)
