<\/p>\nWe took Adam to a pumpkin patch today.\u00a0 Obviously this was more for our benefit than his – we could have taken him and the camera to the produce section of our grocery store and he’d never have known the difference. It was a neat place though.\u00a0 I’m sure if he’d been a couple years older he’d have had a lot of fun, he could have gotten some play time in – instead of just having his mean parents set up ridiculous poses and laugh at him.<\/p>\n
I did take him inside the engine of this wooden train.\u00a0 It was a pain to get in (literally).\u00a0 I’m pretty sure it’s not meant for anyone over four feet tall.\u00a0 The bruise on my sore right knee is proof.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And Dave showed him the sheep (plural), goats, and cow (singular).<\/p>\n

Then we started the torture by camera portion of our visit. The little dude was on the fence as far as how he felt about this – ha ha – on the fence.\u00a0 I crack myself up.<\/p>\n

Sticking the poor kid in this planter was all his daddy’s idea. I would never do such a thing to him! He’s first in line to care for me in my old age – plus someone had to hold the camera.<\/p>\n

Doesn’t it look like he just hopped out of Super Mario Brothers 3? He’s way cuter than that mustached plumber though.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Next we tried getting a nice picture of him with a pumpkin – you know, the whole reason we were there? Having him lean on the pumpkin worked out okay for a couple of minutes.\u00a0 This kid is a squirmer though and so it wasn’t long before he fell off to the side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
So then we tried to prop him up against this cornstalk.\u00a0 I thought it would be a nice picture.\u00a0 Adam disagreed….loudly.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I did get a good photo though – thanks to Dave for setting up the pumpkins. We had him wedged in there pretty securely to keep him from tipping over in any direction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The place we went to also had a hayride and a cornfield maze.\u00a0 We passed on the hayride but did spend a little time in the maze. I tried telling Adam if he built it, they would come – but he just look at me like I was crazy. I get that look from him a lot – I can’t wait until we hit the teenage years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We did get a nice picture of the three of us too – on the first try even.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course by this point Adam had lost interest in the pumpkin patch and his camera happy parents and decided a nap was a better way to spend his time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
And for the record, we didn’t end up getting a pumpkin.\u00a0 So I guess we failed as far as that mission is concerned.\u00a0 Oh well – there’s always the produce section…<\/p>\n
