The Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we took the J-Man to a pumpkin patch and he LOVED it!!!  What a difference a year makes!  Last year he was only 4 months old and not too interested in what we were making him do.  And consider yourself warned - we took a bunch of pictures!

This is when we had just arrived.  J-Man was too cool for school and just taking it all in.

Again more coolness.  I am afraid he already thinks he is too cool for us.

He wasn't too sure about the hay ride.  I think he was thinking he needed to be in a car seat.....

When we made it to the pumpkin patch all Jackson could say was "ball."  It was a field of orange balls as far as he was concerned.  And he wanted to pick them all up and throw them.

Off in search of more "balls."

Ahh, we found one his size.  He then proceeded to throw it.

Then he perched on this one as if to say, "this is mine, everyone else stay back!"

It was a little bumpy and tough for him to walk, but Da-da came to the rescue after telling him, "you have your mother's coordination."  Thanks babe!

All in all we had a blast and were worn slap out when we got home.  We all took about a 3 hour nap!!!

But before we left we posed for a family picture.  This is pretty good.  I have given up on getting that great family photo though.  It is just impossible with kids.

I thought this picture with Nana and Papa was really good!

Happy Monday everyone.
