Fall Fun

Oh boy, fall is shaping up to be a very fun season. In the backyard,we've been picking lots of grapes, enjoying the new colors on the leaves and catching glimpses of wildlife. Where's M?




On Saturday, M, D, and Grandma came with me to a kid's party that PMC had at the Pumpkin Patch. There were lots of fun things to do in the barn, like running around on some hay bails and painting little pumpkins with my friends.


That little pumpkin is now proudly displayed in my room. Also, I caught my first fish!


Later, we went out and enjoyed the other activities at the farm. We took a hayride out to pick a pumpkin. I helped Grandma inspect each one to find the best.


Then I climbed up a haystack pyramid. Can you find me?


And I also got to eat some yummy corn.


Back at home, I tried on my costume and scared/entertained everyone by being a bear in the house!


I am very excited to have this big pumpkin at home. D and I sketched up some faces. To be continued....

Down on the Farm

I've been in quarantine for a little more than a week now thanks to a varying array of cough and runny nose (which I have also generously shared with Mom and Dad). However the weather was just too nice this past weekend not to venture out. Mom and I took a quick trip to a nearby farm. We packed in the fun.

Tractor rides galore including a hay ride around the farm:




Visiting with some livestock. Not pictured are the calves, chickens, goats, ponies, and baby chicks we also saw.



We ran into one of my pals there - she lives just up the road and comes a lot. Together we sorted baby pumpkins and took in some rides. I went for the swing - twice - she road a pony - also twice. I think all involved parents were surprised by our bravery when it came to rides. I was assured we could come back for the big slide, bouncy castle, pony ride, etc. - yikes!
