Pumpkin Patch

Enjoying the hayride! Doesn't Erin look too cool!!

I found my pumpkin Mom!
Hey mom, this pumpkin is heavier than it looks!
Ryan loved chasing the goats around.
So glad that Jen and Anna made the picture!!
I am sure that everyone has already read all about our trip to the pumpkin patch on both Heather and Jen's blogs, but I still had to post my own pictures. We had a wonderful time at the Taylor farm pumpkin patch last Saturday with our great friends, the Judds and Maggiores. It wasn't your usual pumpkin picking weather (a little too warm), but it was still a great day. There was hardly anyone else there so we sort of had the run of the place. What better way to spend a gorgeous fall Saturday!!

The Fire Hat!!

Some of you requested to see a picture of me wearing the fire hat.......not sure why...... but here it is for those of you who asked!!! Don't I look so glamorous!! :) The hat was quite stinky (like smoke) so I didn't wear it too long, just long enough to take a quick picture.

A trip to the Firehouse!!

This morning my mom and I took the kids to the one of the Norfolk firehouses to see some fire trucks. My mom knows one of the firefighters and he told us we could bring Ryan up so he could see the fire trucks. He was so excited to go and was talking about the fire trucks all the way there. Well when we got there he got so shy that he didn't want to even sit in the truck unless I did it too. I was expecting a totally different reaction, I thought he would be all over the place checking everything out. I think that it was all just so overwhelming. He had never seen a fire truck that close before and it may have just been too much to take in all at once. He did enjoy seeing one of the firemen slide down the pole and he was excited when he saw the pool table they have in the firehouse. :) We got to take a tour of the firehouse and meet some of the other firemen, we got to climb in the ambulance and the fire truck and I even got to wear the fire hat (because Ryan didn't want to). Guess we'll have to just try again in a couple months, maybe Ryan will enjoy it a little more the next time!!
