Pumpkins

Marianne and Jasmine met Cole and I at a local pumpkin patch today. It was so much fun. We got to watch our kiddos get wide-eyed and ooo and aahh over rows and rows of pumpkins. The variety of pumpkins was awesome. I'd never seen so many different kinds.

This was the first time Cole had seen a real pumpkin up close. The first thing he tried to do was pick a pumpkin up by the stem. Then he tried to crawl over the pumpkin, pat the pumpkin, and yes eat the pumpkin. When he got tired of one pumpkin he'd crawl down the long isle of pumpkins and sit or stand by another. It was really cute to see him so excited about discovering something new.

We did get Jasmine and Cole to sit still long enough for some photos. They both were way too into their pumpkins to look at the camera very long (if at all). They were just darling.

Next year Cole will be running down those isles picking out his very own pumpkin to take home. I already know it will be a lot of fun because he was loads of fun today.
