Today we went on a field trip with Lawson's MDO to go to the pumpkin patch in Clanton. It is a pretty good one. We took Lawson last year and he was a little too young but he really got a lot out of it this year! He was able to jump in the bouncy house, pet and feed the animals at the little petting zoo, ride the tractor train and enjoy a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick out his pumpkin. All in all he did well...only a few minor meltdowns but I guess that is to be expected when a 2 year old has to wait in line.
Once we got down to the pumpkin patch, we searched for a small pumpkin. There was not many little ones to choose from so we got one the next size up. Lawson got upset because he didn't pick out the pumpkin and stood in the field crying. We then headed back up to take the hay ride back to the top where he saw a small pumpkin. He picked it up and said "Mine". So because he wouldn't have it any other way....we came home with a small pumpkin that is pretty beat up. Oh well!! Guess I will be purchasing another one at Wal-Mart! His "umptin" now sits in our living room because if you move it he brings it right back!!
After picking out the pumpkin, we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch and then headed home for a much needed nap....for both of us!!
This is the only picture I got with Lawson and a pumpkin...he refused to take a picture with his pumpkin.
