You, Me and the Bean

Friday we all went to the pumpkin patch and picked out our "punkins" and gourds to put around the house. The next few post are pictures of the outing. Henry had an absolute blast. He has had a cold and he fell asleep on the way to the patch and on the way home from the patch, but while we were there he was all about it. He really liked the hay bail ride on a trailor pulled behind a tractor. We got up front so he could watch the wheels of the tractor kick up dirt. We even got a little in our teeth. Henry also loved guarding the punkins we picked out. He would squeal and pound on them. Mama is a master punkin selector. We got 4 really beautiful ones; a traditional orange one, a dark green one, a white one, and a watermellon-looking squatty one. Henry can walk pretty well now, but there's walking and then there's walking in a punkin patch. He took one spill and ended up face down in the dirt, but he didn't even cry. We may try to go back again this year with Grampa Heiman just for the heck of it because it was so fun. Wish you all could be with us. -W
