Baby Dude's Halloween

Given his obsession with"goo-kins" a pumpkin costume seemed about right. No way was the hood going on though.

Baby Dude and Daddy went to Treatslyvania, a local trick or treating event just for little ones, where they met up with his cousins, aunt and uncle.

And on Halloween Day, we met up with family again and all went to the Tiny Tot Parade through Old Town, our historic, restored downtown area. All the business owners come out and do trick or treating on Halloween morning for the little ones, then there is the Monster Mash dance party at one of the night clubs after. Baby Dude LOVES to dance so I think that was the best part for him. :)

Playing in the Leaves

We spent a long time raking leaves on Saturday. I wasn't too sure how Baby Dude would do in the front yard, since we live close to a very busy street. But he did great!

He was very interested in the "gake" (rake) and the "gick" (stick) or handle of the rake. We found a small one in the shed and Daddy showed him how to use it.

Harvest Farm Day

We spent a gorgeous fall day at Harvest Farms and Baby Dude had an absolute ball! He was in "goo-kin" heaven with the Pumpkin Patch. There were so many pumpkins he just kept running all over pointing them out.

They had a wonderful petting zoo and he got up close to bunnies, pigs, a cow, alpacas and lots of sheep and goats.

They had a sand box filled with corn too! He wasn't too sure about it, but then he decided it was pretty fun.

We'll definitely be back there next year! :)
