October 5th - First Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We took Tyler to Aholt Farms near Augusta, MO to experience their Halloween pumpkin extravaganza! They have everything a 1 year old could want to do...

There were wide-open spaces for a little guy to run and play.


They had hay bales, pumpkins, a haunted house and spooky Halloween characters...it was the perfect spot to take a few Halloween pictures.



Here he is with Grandma Dee, Mommy, Daddy and Grandma Harness.

Not to be outdone, Grandpa Harness got the biggest reaction of the day! (He must have been slipping him whipped cream again...)

They also had a hay ride with more hay bales and lots of farm scenery to look at.

Grandpa Harness was up to his usual tricks.

They had lots of chickens, cows, pigs, and goats to gawk at and pet. Tyler was especially excited about the chickens.

There was even a miniature car lot! He was so excited, he took off running into the car lot.

Tyler had his pick but which one to choose?

First he tried the Flintstones car like he has at home but his car at home has all the hubcaps.

Then Grandpa Harness took him for a ride.

After that he tried out the fire truck,

then the tractor,

then the antique car,

and finally the police car. (Where do they hide the donuts Uncle Murph?)



He wrapped up the afternoon with a ride on the barrell train with Daddy. Jeff said he now knows what a can of sardines feels like!
