Avery and I went out to a pick your own pumpkin patch today while Jeremy went kayaking. We got to ride on a hay ride, I was hoping for horses pulling us, but it was a tractor. Someone made a smart remark that there were 90 horses pulling us, Ha Ha.
Here are the other kids that we went with. Their mother and I have been walking together in the mornings for the last month. We have been enjoying getting to know each other better, and our families. 
While there we also had the opportunity to see and pet some animals. Avery was enthralled with the chickens, we got to pet a sheep and see some cows up close. 
The kids are supposed to be able to carry their own pumpkin or you have to pay the adult price for them also, but I lucked out and didn't have to. Maybe the guy felt a little sorry for me. Avery did not really understand the reason we were out in the big field. He thought that it was just to walk around and get dirty, of which he did a marvelous job! I can not count the times that he fell over, he even slipped around in a smashed pumpkin for a bit before I came to his rescue.
After trekking through the pumpkin patch, not as far as most people were going, because Avery wanted to walk all by himself. I got the pumpkin below and carried it while holding Avery's hand, back to where the tractor ride picked us up, also Avery's pumpkin, as he was too tired.
I was worried that it would be a lousy day to go out as it was cloudy all morning, but it was sunny and warm while we were there.
