Pumpkin Picking

This weekend we decided to try out this place called McCall's Pumpkin Patch.  It did not disappoint!  And next year he's going to love it even more!  Once we arrived, we did a quick walk around to see what was there and then hopped on the hayride to the actual pumpkin patch.  Here he is enjoying a snack on Robert's lap on the ride over.

The boy didn't hesitate one bit to go right for the pumpkins.  Shoving them, trying to pick them up, rolling them, sitting on them... he was so happy! 

Once we selected our pumpkin, we headed back for some lunch.  Let me preface this by saying that I'm really picky about what Ryan eats.  I try to make sure its healthy and balanced and for the most part he loves anything you put in front of him.  That being said, he LOVED a corn dog and frito pie!  Balance right?!

Seriously, could not get enough of the frito pie!

Then we walked around and looked at a few other attractions he'll enjoy a little more next year and took a moment to pose him in this fun chair.  He was so excited to sit in it, but made us a little nervous and he would have preferred to be standing.

 

Another photo op and then the kiddie cow train passed by.  He just starred and pointed at it as it passed by - next year :)

 I love this look.  Pure fascination and curiosity.

So that was our weekend.  And in case you missed it, Ryan is walking!  Not all the time, but he's getting more and more steady every day.  He's moved up to the toddler classroom and is doing really well.  He was ready!  He's also working on 4 more teeth at the moment and handling it pretty well.  And in just the last few days decided that he wants to hug you.  My assumption is he was kissing too many kids at school so the teachers taught him to hug instead.  Those tiny little fingers griping your back with his head on your chest are the best.
