Since Clint couldn't join us for the Zoo Boo Gavin and I decided he needed to get into the spirit of Halloween and go to the pumpkin patch with us. So we went and had fun together. We took a hayride into the pumpkin patch and it was Gavin's first time picking a pumpkin like that, but also Clint's/ I couldn't believe in his 36 years here on earth that he never had picked a pumpkin, he said they always just bought them at the store. After we got a family one we took Gavin to pick out a little one and he knew which one he wanted. HE went straight to it and picked it up and carried it all the way to the car. He offered him help but he said "No, no, mine!" IT was too cute, it was just heavy enough that it weighed him down on the one side and made him slouch, but light enough that he made it to the car. Monday for Family Night we'll paint his and I might carve our family one or paint it also, I haven't decided yet. After we took our pumpkins to the car we went back to all the events going on. He played in the hay maze, the play ground, on the tractor, and then took his first pony ride. His pony was named Chief, and he loved him! Hopefully he'll get to ride again someday. I love riding horses and would love to get one someday and maybe Gavin will want to ride also.
Anyway here's some of the fun from our day!!
