I'm a bit behind on this, but we took Jackson to his first pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. Grandma brought him his first pumpkin about a month ago, and ever since the boy has been obsessed with pumpkins! He loves to point out pumpkins on our walks and he notices pumpkin decor everywhere we go. So we took a family trip back to the farm that we picked apples to get some pumpkins. Our friends the Weeks joined us with their two kids, Christian and Peyton. It was a gorgeous fall day and we had a great time. We took a hayride out to the petting zoo area and looked at the animals for a while. Jackson loved this as much or more than last time! We then got back on the wagon to go pick our pumpkins. We got two which Jackson approved of. Then we let the kiddos run around for a bit before heading home. He loved seeing the pumpkins on our porch and even helped daddy carve one for Halloween. Since Jackson also loves cats, we decided on a kitty pumpkin. He was thrilled with the outcome! Here are a few pics from the farm and pumpkin carving:
Jackson was in pumpkin heaven with this giant pile of pumpkins!
Petting the animals - he has no fear.
A couple family pics :)

Daddy and Jackson working hard on the pumpkin.
The finished product! Meow! It's so cute how he knows that it is both a pumpkin and a cat. He will look out the door and "pukin! meow meow!"
We also took Jackson to the state fair for the first time a couple weekends ago. We were in chapel hill for a football game and made it to the fair in Raleigh on the last day. We walked around and ate while he took a nap in his stroller. When he awoke, we showed him the giant pumpkins and all of the animals. He loved both! We then got some ice cream and let him run a bit before heading back home.
Checking out the award winning giant pumpkins!
A little ride on daddy's shoulders to check out the cows, goats, and pigs!
Up next, Halloween!
