A trip to the Pumpkin Patch

This has been the 3rd year in a row that we have visited Knox's Pumpkin Farm in Durham region. The first time we went we were so excited to be first parents and to show Calder what a pumpkin farm was all about. Of course, the excitement was all ours as Calder was not even 2 months old. :) We didn't stay very long that first year, needless to say. :) Last year we had tons of fun as Calder was just beginning to explore the world around him. This year he is even more curious, albeit more cautious, about everything and anything. I hope that we can make this a family tradition. Even if we don't go to the same farm, I look forward to years ahead of more hay rides, barn explorations, and pony rides. :)

Here is a picture of Calder last year at the farm. What a cutie!!

Here's the comparable shot that we have. No way could we get him to sit down (I didn't even try) and after about 5 shots, I got this. Digital cameras are great!

Mommy & Calder, waiting for his first pony ride!

Calder's first time on a pony, ready to take a ride!

At the end of his ride on Goldie. :) What a big boy he is getting to be!

Mommy & Calder on the wagon ride. A bit chilly, but lots of fun!

Just a candid shot that I managed to take of the munchkin.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Fall season. If you can't tell, it's Gary's and my favourite season of the year - the fall colours, Thanksgiving, pumpkins, roasting marshmallows, fire pits, the brisk air - we love it all. :)

A Plethora of Pictures

Here are some pictures of our recent trip to Pickering Museum Fall Fest. We went to it last year and I hope we can as long as we are living near it! :)















Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving Dinner. We had a lovely evening!







Yesterday we went to Pumpkinville, an event put on by Durham Region every year at the conservation area just north of us. We were only there for an hour, because I had an open house to do at work, but we sure had a lot of fun!!
