Yesterday Joe, Lucian, and Myself went to the orchard to get our Fall Pumpkins. We did get several pumpkins that we picked out ourselves. We also decided to pick raspberries while we were there since they are in season. Lucian absolutely loved this! Not only did he get to push the wagon through the bushes, but he also figured out that he can pick his own berries right off the bush to eat. At first he would take them out of our hands and eat them (he really likes them). In time he realized we were pulling them off the bushes. It was so neat to see him make that connection on his own. What a smart kid! So his first pick-your-own fruit and pumpkin adventure was a success. He was tuckered out after all the work and sunshine. He passed out before we got back to the car. On the downside, he was completely covered with raspberry juices. It was all over his face to the point that he looked like he was in an accident or that we beat him (would never happen of course). Still cute.
Later in the day we came home, cleaned everything off, and stuffed some scarecrows. We organized our decorations on the porch and went out to a little carnival. We were going to have our first hayride, but the wait was too long. If he wasn't so sleepy, we possibly would have went. At least we were able to enjoy some complimentary snacks and drinks. We also received a free photo of the three of us. It came out super cute. It'll have to go on the fridge. As the sun disappeared for the day, we had a really lovely time with some warmer weather. I'm looking forward to Lucian's birthday and Halloween.
