Pumpkin Patch


Saturday John was a trooper. He got a call Friday that he had a ticket to the Auburn game. I was excited for him and wanted him to go...but I didn't feel great. I was just really nauseated and the thought of entertaining Will all day on Saturday make me feel even more sick. But I still told John to go. And he still chose to stay home. He earned some major brownie points in the bank! For those of you who know my husband, staying home was a HUGE sacrifice. The best part, he didn't even act like it was hard (though I know he was twitching a little on the inside).
I pretty much knew I was not going to feel great, regardless of our day's activities, so we decided to take Will to the pumpkin patch. We hadn't taken him yet this year, and I wasn't really sure when we would get another opportunity. So we dressed Will in his fall attire and headed to Clanton!The Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Clanton is SO much fun. There is tons to do! Last year, it was freezing...this year we burned up. Alabama weather is so crazy. Will enjoyed it a lot more this year. We took him down the BIG inflatable slide. I obviously didn't realize how big and fast it was because I took him first. I let John take him down after that-it was super fast and I was scared I was going to fly off and let go of him. John enjoyed it just as much as Will.Then we went on a Twactor Train ride. Will thought it was a real choo choo and kept saying "Choo Choo" and waving his hand for all aboard!Our last activity was the hayride to go and pick out our pumpkin...Will loved this! He loved riding to the patch, he was very picky in selecting a pumkin, and walked up and down the patch making sure we had the best one. He cried when we had to put him back in the wagon...but daddy would have been crying had we not made it back home in time for the Auburn game....
