Pumpkin Patch Kids

This morning, we all went to a pumpkin patch in Kirkland. We've always gone to the one in Fall City/Carnation, but decided to try a new place this year. There were alpacas and goats and Sean enjoyed feeding them by hand. Aly and Noah stayed in the stroller, half drowsy since it was near their nap time. It was a sunny and gorgeous day but the wind was a little chilly. After feeding the animals, Sean just ran and took off to the pumpkin field. He was so excited to be able to ran in a big open space. He ran so far that he was about the size of the pumpkins laying around. Once Daddy went and retrieved him, we looked for the pumpkin to adopt. He could not decide which one, so Mommy picked one for him. All in all we had a good time at the new pumpkin patch. Perhaps we'll return again next year since it's closer.

Daddy carved the Mr. Pumpkin in the garage. We did it without Sean since it involved knife and didn't want Sean to insist on swinging around a weapon. It turns out, Sean is scared of Mr. Pumpkin. He wouldn't even let Mommy touch it. We made sure Mr. Pumpkin has a friendly face, but still it was too different for Sean. He's still two after all!

Maybe next year, Aly and Noah will be running around in the pumpkin patch. Granted, I bet they will run towards different directions. Our lives will be so much fun as the kids get older.
