The Pumpkin Patch

Better late then never!  We finally made it to the pumpkin patch!  My mom and I took Lincoln to Lattin's Cider Mill on Sunday and we had a great time.  It started out a bit rocky as Lincoln wanted to be carried around (that does not fly these days with my ever expanding mid section...).  Thankfully he finally realized that he wasn't going to get his way and made the best of it.  It wasn't nearly as crowded as last year, but because of the rain the previous day it was a mud pit!  Cars were having great difficulty getting in and out of the parking lot. We enjoyed some donuts, apple fritters, and of course we couldn't leave without a gallon of mouth watering cider!

 Here we are getting ready to explore the patch!

 Lincoln was reluctant to check out the pigs until other kids came around.  Then he was all about it.  Peer pressure at such a young age?!  Hehehe :-) 

 Lincoln was most interested in the rotten pumpkins...  This particular one he stepped in and was a bit weirded out about the feeling of his boot in the squishy pumpkin. 

 Baby Brooklyn is not quite big enough to shelve this pumpkin...

 Awe, isn't he cute :-)

 He loved checking out the baby ducks.

 The word "mud" was in every other sentence once he saw it and got to walk through it!

 Ah, finally he got to pull the wagon!

 Of course you can't just pull the wagon, you have to check out every angle and make sure that everything ins running smoothly...  Or investigate the amount of "mud" on the tires...

All in all, it was a beautiful afternoon!
