October just wouldn't be complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch, nor would our blog be without the traumatic pictures to show for it.

Enjoy.








Still traumatized from last year's "mom-forcing-me-to-sit-on-a-pumpkin" debacle, Faith was not going to make that mistake another year.

Oh thank you for saving me daddy, you are always the voice of reason in this relationship.



The highlight of it all, of course was the petting zoo. Faith lights up whenever she sees a furry friend. She is completely trusting, and laughed when the animals gave her some nibbles.






da-na. da-na, da-na-na-na, da-na-na-na. Faith's proximity to animals should come complete with an alarm playing music from Jaws- a warning that the animal torturer is near.




"Hmmm...you know they make g-tubes so you don't have to deal with that sort of thing Mr. Cow"



I could probably come up with some cheesy "seeing eye-to-eye" pun for this one, but I'll spare you the cheese.







Yes, we let our 2 year old daughter stick her hand in a horse's mouth (no, there was nothing to feed them, just fingers) And they say we have a hard time "letting go."





And yes, as we made plans for the patch that morning I had a fluttering of hope that I could finally get the "perfect" hay bail picture we failed to capture last year.... Yes, perhaps without lugging a ventilator around (I still cannot believe we did that) this would be the year we'd capture our little pumpkin sitting poised perfectly on top a hay bail.....






Turns out, the ventilator had nothin' to do with it.
Sera, sera.

The pictures were great. I love the one of Faith smiling at the cow. So cute.

It looks like Faith is really doing well. So glad to see that.

Happy Halloween

Well, at least she was smiling and having a good time with the animals! She sure has a good memory about the pumpkin patch trauma from last year though!

Great pics, even the last one! ; )

She's getting so big! I love the pics of her with the animals. I have to laugh over the perfect hay bale pic (or lack thereof).
CUTE!!
