Pumpkin Patch

We spent a beautiful afternoon at the pumpkin patch.  The weather was awesome, by the time we left we'd all taken our coats off because we were hot.  (Though, Jax thinks if the sun is out, that it's hot.)  We met Kate, Cody, and Keegan there and also got to see Tim, Shera, and Hannah.  It's funny how even in the last year, how big Jaxon has gotten and how many big kid things he does now....

 I had to promise many suckers to get this ONE smile.  The 4 other pictures on this bench, he has his arms crossed and is scowling at me. 

 I asked Jaxon what he thought this cow's name was and he told me "Beefy."  Which made us laugh since he has no clue what beef is or where it comes from. 

 This was taken on a giant adirondack chair they have at the pumpkin patch.  We hadn't even stopped to look at it, but while Josh, Tim, Shera, and I were visiting Jaxon snuck off and climbed up into it by himself.  The seat is nearly 5 feet off the ground! 

 We said "stand up tall" and this is what he and Keegan did. :)

 Pretending to drive the stagecoach.

 (for the record, last year when we put him in one of these trains he screamed and cried like we were abandoning him there forever)  He would have ridden this all day if we had let him. 

 In past years, our pumpkin choosing process was kick it, sit on i, roll it, and smell it.  This year it was run through them and see if they were orange.  It took longer to choose since they were ALL orange.
