The Farm

Our favorite (perhaps only) Halloween/Fall tradition is going to The Farm. It's a pumpkin patch + petting zoo + hay ride + perfect place for a photo session. We were excited for Henry's first visit to The Farm, even though he didn't really know what was going on. It meant a couple hours of being outside, which is his favorite thing to do, so he was pretty happy. This year it became more apparent how much of a yuppie activity this is - families dressing up in the requisite boots, scarves and knit hats. Carrying their children in their baby carriers or wagons, taking pictures with pumpkins. I like to think we're different from all of them because we've been going for so many years, prior to it being as busy as it has become... but maybe we're not.  Here are some pictures from the day.

 We missed Natalie & Monica - only two Farrar sisters went this year
 It's impossible to get two babies to look at the camera
Oh pumpkin, Henry loves you
 Mmm.

OH man so sad I missed it. So sad they don't have something like that hear. I would even be fine with a small pumpkin farm here...BUTT no.
