Pumpkin Time

A couple weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch. It is so much more fun to have Austin be able to enjoy all the fun decorations and activities this year. His favorite word lately has been "chugga". Pretty much anything that moves (cars, trucks, trains, etc) is a "chugga!" At the pumpkin patch, Austin was riding in the wagon. When Justin walked away to get a pumpkin, Austin stood up, grabbed the handle, and yelled "Go, Chugga!"

Then, he decided he wanted to see what this was really all about. He had a hard time keeping his balance in the field...but enjoyed getting a little dirt on himself!

He is really trying to be so much more independent (too bad for him though...Mom's not ready to let go quite yet!) He then decided he wanted to pull the wagon by himself...not an easy task on a dirt path with a bunch of pumpkins weighing it down.

So, Dad came to the rescue!

We had a great time picking out our pumpkins, despite the cold weather. Austin loves to look at them still, and says "pun-kin" every time he sees one.
