Pumpkin Patch - 2013

We had a very fun day outside at the Pumpkin Patch today!  We went this afternoon with a high of about 64 and a slight breeze, so it was a very nice day out.  Luke didn't want to take his morning nap, so he crashed on the 15 minute drive out there.  Then we sat in the van for 45 minutes so he would get a little sleep.  Even though we did that, there were still many mini-meltdowns.  But we did get some great pictures and memories out of the day, so it turned out great!

 Riding on the Hayrack Ride out to the Pumpkin Field!

 Luke's not sure about poking his head into this hole ... not one bit!

So ... we stuck him in the corn and he just stood ... and stood ... and stood.  Luke didn't move a muscle for the longest time.  Then, he went and tried to climb up the bottom of the slide.  :)

I thought it would be cute to "measure" how tall he is.  This is the best picture I have, as the others are him crying and trying to flop to the ground.

They had some bouncy hills (not sure what to call them), but Luke and I went up and jumped and jumped for about 10-15 minutes.  He laughed and laughed!  He loves to bounce in his crib (he's been bouncing now for over an hour), but perhaps I should start bouncing, as I didn't feel so great a few minutes in.  Getting old and motion sick, that's for sure!

Out in the field examining pumpkins.  He kept going for the rotten ones!

Off and running through the pumpkins!

Dad tried to keep Luke on the road, but he kept veering off into the field.

Running everywhere!  His little feet didn't stop!

A grin (kinda) from a very happy little boy ... who finally became quiet and is (hopefully) drifting off to sleep as I type this.  It was a great day!
