A Taste of Fall

Last Saturday, we went to a pumpkin farm south of the city. For the occasion, and because she's a big girl now, we turned Eliza's car seat to be front facing. She couldn't be happier to ride in the car now!


Once there, we went right for the "petting zoo," which really meant give the goats some food and try not to get bitten! Eliza got licked once or twice to her great delight, but we pretty quickly used up our allotted supply of whatever it is that they gave us to feed the goats. We also investigated the llamas, but when the guy next to us actually got spit on (they're nasty creatures), we quickly found other things to do!


Eliza really enjoyed the playground area, where she could stomp around the grass and ogle the older kids. Here she is inside the small train, where I caught this photo about two seconds before she would have gone careening off the edge of the caboose!


And of course, the pony ride!!! I think I was more excited than she was, since I still have that horse obsessed girl that I was living inside me. At this point in her life, I think Eliza prefers her rocking horse from Nan and Gramps. But doesn't she look cute???


Next up, some pumpkin trivia. Post your answers and we'll let you know if you're right!


Checking out pumpkins with Daddy. Which one to choose? And apparently pay with using Mommy's wallet.


You call it corn; my people call it maize (does anyone remember those commercials?).


Off into the sunset with Daddy.
