We visited Alltenburgs Family Farm for a fun tractor ride and to pick our family pumpkins. This is something we have done every year since Alex was born. We took the hay ride out into the pumpkin patch and Alex got to pick out a pumpkin for him and Rhoslyn. Billy and I also picked out our own pumpkins. Alex got lucky this year because Grandma and Grandpa joined in for the fun! All Alex really cared about was the tractor ride.. so we tried to go on again, but of course they were stopping the rides for awhile. This left one 2 year old boy in tears and ready to go home! Alex didn't have as much fun as we had hoped (I guess that is what happens when he gets up at 5:30 in the morning and it was too close to nap time). We are hoping to make it back again to walk through the hay maze, the corn field, and feed the goats. Oh yes, and go for another "tractor ride!"

Rhoslyn slept the whole time and probably didn't even know we were away from home! Alex remembers mom and dad carving Elmo and Cookie Monster into the pumpkins and is requesting us to do it again this year... I think I might get more creative and try a train instead.... we will have to see!
