This year, Fletcher had a simple request. "I want a pumpkin I can sit on." Well, okay then! We went to the Pumpkin Festival in Elgin again to see what they might have for us.
But first...donkey feeding!
They had a very nice selection of tractors, including one of our personal favorites, the forklift.
A tractor made of hay!
And...a tractor ride! No, let me correct that: several tractor rides. They have constantly running tractor rides to take you from one part of the farm to another. This, my friends, is living!
Can you think of anything that's made you this happy recently?
A well-meaning, but slightly passive-aggressive grandma seated next to us on one of our rides tried to send a subtle message about our parenting judgment. If you listen closely, you can hear her sing: "The mommies and the daddies say 'Please be safe, please be safe, please be safe, all through the town!'" to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus", all the while staring directly at our son.
Interestingly enough, the broken motorboat sitting in a dry field was also big, big fun.
First attempt at the monkey bars. I think he was a little unclear on the concept. He was pretty happy to let Dallas carry him from bar to bar without actually supporting his own weight at all.
The rope climb was more his speed.
There was also a hay maze...
...and a pony ride!
Finally, it was time for pumpkin selection.
His daddy helped him by finding a pumpkin with a nice, flat stem, which is apparently the key to a sittable pumpkin.
