Wow, what a contrast to last year!  Last year, Owen would sit by the  little pumpkins looking all cute, smiling on cue, and obeying every  little word.  At least that is how I remembered it :)  Here is a picture  to remind you.












Well,  now he is a toddler, and we decided to try out the Pumpkin Patch during  nap time.  We must be first time parents!  Oh wait, we are!  Well, he  did great for the first half of the day.  Actually, he LOVED it.  He was  outside, in the dirt, going down slides, playing with balls, looking at  animals, and oohing an awing at the BIG tractor while we waited our  turn for a ride.  Things started to turn south when it was time to pick  out pumpkins.  The whole purpose for the visit!  We had waited just a  bit to long.  Needless to say, very few pictures after that moment  captured our cute little guy with his beaming smile.  He wanted to do  his own thing and that didn't involve posing for his mamma near any  pumpkins.  We had also hoped to keep on with the tradition of Owen  wearing his costume.  We only got half of it on and then he refused to  pull up the hood.  In case you are wondering, he is supposed to be a  cow.  Although the second half of the trip was a little rough, we did  have a great time with family, and we learned a few things.  Most  importantly, START with the pumpkins so this mamma can get her memories  captured in pictures!  Well, here is the proof.  Enjoy!
