I decided that this weekend would be perfect to take Cayden to the pumpkin patch. Well, I basically invited our family to meet Millie's family there. Heath was a little skeptical about exactly what Cayden would do at a pumpkin patch. I quickly informed him that there was plenty, and there would also be a Mule Train. He still remained a skeptic. I knew Cayden would love it because: A) It's outside B)There are pumpkins. C)Millie would be there.
The weather was Perfect! We arrived right when it opened, and thank goodness. The parking lot was already muddy due to the rain last night; I can only imagine what it looked like this evening.
Pumpkin patches are a great place to take pictures! The colors are great, the scenery fantastic.
I think Cayden's favorite part was the wagon. No, this was not a ride. We decided that the Mule Train was a little too advanced for our kids. We really thought that it would circle the parking lot and come back - not so much. It went all the way around the field, which was too far for us. We always expect the worst, and we knew that one of our kids would probably make a jump for it - out of the mule train. Maybe next year?
It's hard for me not to have a running "Cayden Commentary" in my head. I always wonder what he thinks about situations or people. He loves Millie. We have been working on saying her name. Here I believe he is thinking, "Uh, I don't think we are supposed to be standing, Millie. It's your fault that we can't ride the mule train."
The joy on this kids' face. Love it! I have no problems with him being photographed in a carriage. Just think, if these two get married in 20+ years...
We could never get them both to stick their heads out at the same time!
As soon as he saw this chicken, he said "Ba-Ba." That's chicken speak.
He's getting to be such a little boy. The clothes kill me. This was Cayden's first at many attempts to pick up the pumpkins. He's quite manly.
"Hey, Mills - whatcha got there?"
"Cay-Cay, I'm pretty sure I can pick this one up!"
"See - Told Ya!"
"Women are just as strong as men!"
"Stand aside, pretty lady"
"This here is man's work!"
"I'm lifting with my legs, not my back! Did you know that's how it's done?"
"UGH. Why didn't I bring my back brace?"
"I meant to put it back down..."
"Why is something so small, so difficult to pick up!"
"Ta-Da!!! See, Millie...Man's work!"
"Where would you like me to carry it?"
I swear these two are so cute together! I like this picture because it looks like they are holding hands. They were really just touching the pumpkin.
When Heath put him down in the middle of all of these pumpkins, he threw his hands out as if to say, "Which do I choose?"
Like I said, he loved that cart. He was content to just ride around with the pumpkins!
We only stayed about 45 minutes, but we had a great time and hauled some awesome pumpkins home. I think Cayden had a good time! Tomorrow is his 15 month doctor's appointment, so I'll post an update later!
