Pumpkin Patch!

So...I have always wanted to go to a Pumpkin Patch! Come to think of it...I wonder now where my parents got the pumpkins that we carved when I was little because I don't ever recall going to a pumpkin patch and picking a pumpkin! I guess in the 80's and early 90's the Piggly Wiggly or Hoggly Woggly (as my Bigmama called it) would be the place to "pick the pumpkin." For the past couple of years I always thought, when I have a baby...I'm definetely taking he/she to the pumpkin patch. So...on Saturday we decided we would take Samuel. I got him up and dressed him in his little pumpkin smocked outfit (to which I can not post what Donny's comment was). Don't worry it wasn't cursing or anything that could hinder Samuel's intelligence. Donny thinks that on game day you should be decked out in total Alabama attire or a t-shirt and diaper (for Samuel of course).

We drove over to Niceville to the Methodist Church who has a wonderful Pumpkin Patch. Samuel was a little unsure at first but warmed up rather quickly to the dirt and pumpkins and actually resulted in Donny carrying him to the car with his feet kicking...at least he wasn't screaming but rather pushing Donny away and trying to get down on the ground to play in the dirt in his Strasburg smocked pumpkin outfit.  We stopped off at Pompano Joe's for lunch and then home for his mid day nap before heading over  Destin Commons to enjoy the afternoon.

Also, did I mention that Samuel didn't just start walking...he actually prefers running or walking fast and swinging his arm for momentum. We never went through the "first steps" or walk a few steps and fall...he literally starting walking and never looked back. That is the disclaimer for most of the pictures where he is either running "away" or "to" the camera!

Happy Fall!
