Pumpkin Patch!

We made our first ever trip to McCall's Pumpkin Patch this past Saturday. Last year we skipped the pumpkin patch and just took Xander to a nearby church to pick out a pumpkin, but this year we decided he was old enough for the BIG pumpkin patch.

The highlight of the pumpkin patch for Xander was the "Tractor Ride" aka the hayride out to the Field to pick a pumpkin. He couldn't take his eyes off the tractor, I think he was more excited about seeing a tractor than picking a pumpkin. He didn't want to leave the hayride and when the tractor took it away he threw a mini fit, until mom and dad COMPLETELY reassured him that the tractor would be back for him.

This kid. So we told him he could pick out ANY pumpkin he wanted. He was adorable to see him walk up to the first one he saw and attempt to lift the huge pumpkin, he thinks he ALOT stronger than he is.







After getting pumpkins we asked Xander what he wanted to do and he said "TRUCK!" of course, so we headed straight for an old truck so he could look at it close up and I snapped a picture...



Next he took his FIRST ride all by himself. I think he would've backed out at the last minute but it was too late. I was really proud at how well he did, he didn't stand up once. Probably cuz he was too busy holding on for dear life...







And a few more fun pictures...
