fall festivities

yesterday we went to a farm to do the usual autumn festivities - maize maze, hay ride, and pumpkins. it was a beautiful day after a pretty gloomy, rainy week. the kids were not cooperative for any nice posed photos amongst the fall decor. oh well. someday.

pickle did like "driving" the tractor

baby girl is too big for the bjorn. but it was the only way to really take her through the maize maze, as the paths were not stroller-friendly.

but Q had a great time running

he did find a piece of corn on the ground and insisted on "opening" it

and then he ate it

after successfully making it out of the maze, quentin enjoys his "super donut" (i.e. funnel cake)

this farm also had a hay maze which was a little smaller and more pickle's speed. she was fascinated by the walls of hay.

quentin also liked the hay maze, especially the dead ends

cuteness

it's raining hay!

Q took right off into the pumpkin patch, despite the obscenely large pricker thingies dotting the patch. he seemed intent on finding his pumpkin as far away from everyone else as possible.

notice that there's no one else anywhere near him.

what a cute punkin.
