Pumpkin Patch!

Erickson Ranch- Pumpkin Patch and Produce- Fairfield, CA

Today we took the boys to the pumpkin patch!  This was Elijah's first pumpkin patch trip where he understood what was going on.  When I got him up this morning I said "We are going to go to the pumpkin patch today!" to which he replied "I go punkin patch?! I get punkin?! I put on my costume?! I need candies?!" HAHAHAHAH! In about two weeks he learned everything there is to learn about Halloween, it may be cute, but dang- really?! CANDIES?! He says he needs his pumpkin basket to get his candies...oy. (p.s he loves skittles, not sure who put those in front of him...ahem...*cough cough*)
What day at the pumpkin patch would not be complete without Carving a pumpkin? So that is what we did after Elijah's nap- we carved his little pumpkin. He was really interested in the face and no-so-interested in the pulling out of the innards! hahah! I asked him a couple times "Do you want to pull this out?" to which he quickly replied "NO! it's yucky". HAHA. Oh well.
He is now fully attached to his pumpkin as you can see in the pictures below. And just for your peace of mind, that is a battery operated candle inside- no open flames here!
Happy two weeks from Halloween!
