We headed out to New Jersey today to our favorite farm to pick PUMPKINS! We underestimated the temperature and were all a little chilly. Bryce fought off the chills by playing in a giant hay tunnel! He had a great time running with all of the kids.
We were able to pry Bryce away from the tunnel with the enticement of the moonbounce and "Corn Kingdom".
Bryce was pretending to swim in the corn!
Here we are on the big tractor hay ride out to the pumpkin patch.
Bryce was really cold, so we borrowed some extra clothes from Andy and made a warm costume for Bryce! We decided that he is dressed as a Ninja Reaper... whatever that is...
Bryce investigated so many of the pumpkins and selected quite a few to take home. (We only chose one, however.) The most exciting things about the pumpkin patch, though, were the beetles (?) that were crawling on some of the pumpkins. Bryce picked one up and deemed that they were friends. He still had his beetle friend on his hand while we were waiting for the hayride back to the farmhouse. Another man in line saw the beetle and quickly knocked it off Bryce's hand. The poor guy thought he was helping, but instead sent Bryce into hysterical crying about losing his new friend! We managed to find his friend again, but apparently their relationship was too damaged from the attack and the beetle stayed in the pumpkin patch.
Bryce took a ride on the tractor wagons after we came back to the farmhouse. He struck up a conversation with his wagon mate and seemed to chat the whole ride. Unfortunately, his wagon mate didn't seem to know how to converse, so Bryce basically talked to himself. Bryce then invited his new human friend to come on the
moonbounce with him, but again, his wagon mate did not seem to notice/hear or know how to respond to this request. Bryce had fun bouncing anyway.
No trip to a farm would be complete without a pony ride!
Bryce was reminding me so much of Jeremy this afternoon. First, because he had his tongue out while concentrating on his 'work'. Second, because of all the sound effects he was making as he played with the various toys. I know there is no audio, but I am pretty sure you can hear the sounds even in the still pictures!
I gave Audrey a cold carrot to chew on with the hope of helping her gums feel better and Bryce had to have one, too! He even ate it! Now, I just need to get Audrey to start eating all the other foods that Bryce is picky about...
Okay, this picture just cracks me up... Lip Sync, anyone?
Bryce has asked to ride this alligator so many times and today, he finally got his wish!
Bryce was even willing to share his ride with Audrey. She held onto Bryce for dear life! Such cuties!

Daddy and Bryce picked an ear of Indian corn.

"Bryce, why are inside a box?"
"It's not a box, it's a ..." (borrowed from the favorite book "Not a Box")
This is how I was greeted this morning by Bryce and Audrey!
And as I type this posting, Jeremy is reading the book/song "Down By the Station", which inspires me...
"Down by the station early in the morning.
Bryce wanted to bring his water bottle and snack cup to the playground this afternoon, so I got out a bag to carry everything. Bryce decided that he would carry it by himself and put the bag over his shoulder. Apparently, this inspired him to show off his best model runway moves. He's got the look!
