We finally made it to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. Saturday we woke at our usual 7:30am and had a leisurely breakfast. Then off for fun at the Patch.
Caleb loved the Disney artwork, getting closeups with Mickey Mouse, Elmo, and Cookie monster to name a few. Dad helped, or really Caleb led daddy through the hay maze.
Caleb went back through the maze two more times on his own, he liked it so much.
Next was the huge slide and bouncy houses.
Caleb was reluctant to be pulled away from those after multiple trips through each. He rode the kids "train" with me, then we all enjoyed the hay ride.
Finally we wondered through the pumpkin patch trying to find the perfect pumpkins.
Caleb went from pumpkin to pumpkin trying to pick each one up saying "I want this one". We had a wonderful time.
After nap time we traveled over to Caleb's friend, Teresa's pumpkin carving party. Sarah and Ken, Teresa's parents, host these toddler parties every few months. You may remember the splash party from this summer. The kids always love hanging out, and it's a nice way for us grown ups to socialize as well. Caleb was so excited to see Teresa again, he was talking about her all day.
The kiddos started out with a social snack of fruit and crackers. Then they enjoyed chasing bubbles in the yard.
Next, we got down to business with the pumpkin carving.
Caleb wasn't so sure about the pumpkin goo we had to dig out. He made the funniest faces when Greg made him touch the slimy insides of the pumpkin.
He was easily distracted from the detail work, but the end result was good.
All the pumpkins looked great.
Lastly, after wonderful hamburgers and hotdogs cooked up by Ken, we made s'mores for dessert. I was harassed a little for my minimal knowledge in the making of s'mores. I have only had them once in my life back in college on a horrible camping trip (Remember Gin!). Maybe I didn't want to relive the experience, I'm not sure. But this time it was really yummy. I know Caleb loved them, he also liked the fire way too much.
I would say it was a successful weekend.

I still can't believe that you grew up on a farm and didn't have s'mores. They were such a staple in our life! But we did do a lot of camping growing up.....
So glad you guys could come!
