So I have decided that I'm going to just post new posts, and then go back and add in older ones, or else I will continue to be 1 to 2 months behind forever!
Last weekend Ruston and I went to the pumpkin patch with the Barnabi's (Silas, Kaycee, and Alyvia). Alyvia is 8 months old, so it's fun to get to compare and do things with them, especially since Jason went to high school with Silas and Kaycee. After attempting to find 3 different patches with supposedly existed and were not there, we finally found Pumpkin Hill. First, we took a hay ride to the pumpkins.
Ruston wasn't too sure about the pokey straw, and he mostly observed the entire time we were on the ride.

Once we got to the patch, Ruston again observed... all those orange things surrounding him. He really wasn't too sure what to think!
We finally got a smile out of him when we placed him in front of the straw bales that were painted with jack-o-lantern faces. I have a couple more pictures on my phone that I'll have to figure out how to add in here too.
Here is Ruston with his little pumpkin... just his size. He finally didn't mind touching it and holding it, and even chewed on the stem a little.
When we got back to the main area, they had farmer and pumpkin cut-outs, so we just HAD to put the kids in there! Ruston as the farmer, Alyvia as the pumpkin.
Alyvia was mostly trying to climb THROUGH the hole, but it was funny for us.
It was a good fun time and I'm glad we got to go. Jason and I might take Ruston to a different one this weekend to have a family outing since Jason was working last weekend. Then maybe some pumpkin carving will happen!
