Saturday we tried to take Gavin to a place called Monkey Joe's (I know, the name alone sold me) but Gav was passed out cold after the 10 minute car ride to get there, so we turned right around. Then the Hawkeye game was on, and sadly we watched that debacle. But we did leave at halftime to take Gav to the park nearby.
Like usual, Gav was really only interested in the swings.
When Grandpa pushes Gavin, they play a game where they high five after each push.
The rest of Saturday was spent mourning the Hawkeye loss, although Gav didn't seem too upset. He spent the rest of the night coloring pumpkin pictures and throwing footballs backwards (we've decided he's practicing to be a center someday!)
Sunday morning Gav and I took a great 2 hour nap, slept through the rain, and woke up to a beautiful, sunny day. So we decided to head out to the pumpkin patch I went to as a kid, Sonny Acres. Sonny Acres is a little different from how I remember it as a kid...there's a few carnival-type rides now, and maybe some more food, but for the most part its still the same laid back pumpkin patch. Which was a welcome change from the insanity that was Didier Farms the previous weekend!
Another petting zoo and Gav can't wait to get in there and start petting some farm animals!
Grandma makes for a good bodyguard.
Gav loved this petting zoo as much as the last one. He kept running around in circles and making happy, giggly noises!
Getting a sheep kiss.
I had to include this pic because it looks like that goat is taking a bite out of Gavin. I'm 85% sure that didn't actually happen.
Gav's first pony ride! I had no idea what a workout it is for the parent when your kid rides a pony. These guys were going pretty fast, and Gav hasn't really mastered finding his center of gravity just yet :)
"I'm on a horse."
Getting ready for the train ride with Grandpa.
Gav was very serious about this ride, while Grandpa was just trying to squeeze his 6 foot frame into a ride meant for 5 year olds!
Apparently Gav did not inherit his Grandpa's love for trains. I'm sure Grandpa has plans to change that.
The obligatory cut-out picture...and Grandpa getting his head stuck in the pumpkin!
OH. MY. GOD. Look at that scary clown. I am terrified of clowns and haunted houses so this is the perfect storm for me. Gav thought this clown was funny while I was having a mild panic attack.
"I love Sonny Acres Mommy! Let's come back next year!"
