Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch

I've been wanting to take James to a pumpkin patch to get some pictures and today was the day! He woke up with a cough, runny nose and has been sneezing lots but that didn't stop us. He hasn't run a fever, so hopefully this is just all going along w/ teething and there will be some teeth popping up soon (cross your fingers). We were going to go to his friend Becca's house for the Bears game, but I would have felt sooo guilty had she gotten James' cold, so we decided to stay around home. The Bears and the Colts won today -- another good football day (and the Brownies are still 0-for the season, boo).

What a cute little boy! He was so cute just chillin' in the middle of the pumpkin patch...it's was like Where's Waldo :-) I brought a blanket with us so we just had to find a good spot and then propped him up. He seemed to like the the cool touch of the pumpkins.

I guess pumpkins are good teethers, too. Gross! I hope they don't have a high risk of botulism...nothing like a little dirt to help take away a cold :-)

Between Jim and I, we took a ton of pictures so I just picked my favorites to start with at the beginning of the post and then put all the rest in a slide show w/ captions to show the rest of the fun things we found to do there. With the exception of James' cold, we had a great family Sunday! I can't wait to take him back when he's a bit more mobile -- there was lots to do and you only had to pay for what extras you wanted to do (wagon ride, pony or camel ride, farm, haunted house, yummy food, etc). We enjoyed some apple cider and apple donuts too before we left -- yummy!
