Jax and The Giant Pumpkin

Fall is in the air! The leaves have turned color and the pumpkins are ripe for the picking. It is a perfect time for a visit to the pumpkin patch.

Today, we took Jaxon for his very first Pumpkin Patch adventure. He got to do a lot of fun things. First he and April checked out the goats and llamas at the petting zoo. He really liked watching Daddy feed the animals, but he wasn't quite sure what to make of those funny looking creatures. They were pretty slobbery, with yucky tongues and big chompy teethy!

After the zoo he hung out with Kieran at the playground. The best part about that was getting to go down the slide for the first time. Jax thought it was pretty funny when Kieran slid a bit too fast and they both ended up on the ground.



Next he got to take a ride on a tractor pulled hayride; it was a bit chilly. Luckily he wore his new hat to keep his little head warm. On the hayride two little boys gave him straw and if he wasn't trying to drink Mommy's apple cider he was trying to eat the straw. Unfortunately, for Jax he couldn't have either and that didn't make him very happy.

Lastly, we took him to check out the pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins were bigger than he was, some of the pumpkins were medium size, and some of the pumpkins were just right.

All in all, we had a very fun-filled day at the pumpkin patch. This will be a family tradition we continue for years to come.

Hi Shelly! I'm so glad to find your blog! I've been reading up all about Jaxon's birth - hope you don't mind :) He's so adorable.

Your pumpkin patch trip sounds like tons of fun! We're planning on going to one this weekend, hopefully it'll be as much fun as yours. Have a good week!
