Well, last year was a weird one with us moving so we didn't make it to a pumpkin patch. They are hard to find here in TX, so this year we found a local church that brings pumpkins in. They have a great set up and Harrison had a great time! Before going, we were looking at his first pumpkin patch visit (he was 2 weeks old!). He loved it and was so excited.
When we got there, he was off and running. He found a little pumpkin right away and had it with him the rest of the time.
He tried trading in for some bigger ones, but they were too heavy! They had such a good variety of pumpkins though, it was great!
Fun scare crows...giving high fives.
We even got to be mummies!
Someone had to be the scary looking mummy right?
He loves the "Itsy, bitsy spider" and they seem to be every where at Halloween! This was the entrance to a little maze that he chased Jeff through.
Harrison got a ride while we picked out our pumpkins.
Showing off his carving pumpkin.
We tried to get a good family shot, but someone was too interested in the pumpkins. I am finding it harder to just get Harrison to smile by asking. He can be very stubborn, so we do our best I guess!
Happy Halloween and fall season to all!
FYI...it was close to 90 degrees while we were there! Crazy that on Oct. 26 it is still SOOO hot!
I'm ready for the fall weather!
I just love that pushing him on the swing can make him so happy!
Then I brought his bike to get some good riding time, but he just wanted to walk and see everything. Here he is playing chicken with the squirrel. All you can see is the tail at this point. The squirrel was burying something when we came so he didn't just want to leave. Harrison waited about 5 minutes and they just kept circling until he lost interest and decided the squirrel did not want to play with him.
Then we saw this lovely sign. They are actually quite common in the ponds down here (the signs are but I have yet to see an alligator!). You would think that would keep us away...
But where there is a sign there must be a crocodile (he can't read and the sign looks like a crocodile!). We walked almost the whole length of the pond looking for one. No luck! Harrison kept going "snap, snap, snap" trying to get them to come. He knew to stay on the sidewalk luckily! It was a nice walk, but he was pretty bummed he didn't find any crocodiles!
Then on Friday afternoon, we got to go to the park with some good friends of ours who just moved from Houston. Harrison loves "Rique"! He just follows him around and wants to be a big boy just like him! And I love "Rique's" mom so we got to sit, chat and enjoy the weather while the boys played at the park!
Time to go. I told Harrison he could hold my hand or "Rique's" through the parking lot and guess who he wanted!? There is nothing in the world like good friends!
