Pumpkin Patch 2007

"Halloween is coming!!!" That is what Ronan has been saying for the past week. I'm not sure if he thinks Halloween is a person or a thing or... who knows? But he is very excited about it! On Sunday we met our friends Scott, Brisen, and Calista at the pumpkin patch near our house to ride the hay ride and pick out pumpkins. Ro dressed up as a full-fledged firefighter and felt very proud of his red jacket and yellow boots. He loves saying, "I'm a fireman! I help people!"






The highlight of the pumpkin patch for our little Ro? Climbing aboard the tractor, of course, despite the driver telling him it was a no-no. He heeded the man's words, hid behind Mama's leg for a few seconds, then went to the OTHER side of the tractor (out of the man's eyesight) and climbed on top to press the pedals and levers with unashamed glee.
