Today we went to the Post Family Farm in Hudsonville to hunt down some pumpkins. It was a pretty crisp day, but the sun came out and it ended up being pretty nice. They had lots of neat little activities for you. Your favorite was the pumpkin train, which was a string of 12 barrels that were painted orange and cut out with a seat and steering wheel. They were pulled by a lawn tractor around a little field. You looked so serious driving your little barrel. You turned the wheel side to side and made motor noises with your lips, every now and then waving to all your adoring fans in the crowd standing in line. I was shocked when you agreed to ride the horse with me. His name was Samson and we sat on him together while he made a couple of loops around the corral. At this point, Dad and I were really kicking ourselves for leaving the camera in the car. We saw some goats, sheep, ponies, and baby kittens.
We rode the hayride, and ate cider and pumpkin donuts. On the hayride, you turned into quite the little actress rolling around in the hay and throwing it up in the air, all the while smiling at the other passengers like "look at me, aren't I the cutest thing you've ever seen?" We picked out pumpkins next. You picked out a wee little pumpkin, and carried it all the way back to the car. You would have thought it weighed two tons by the way you were heaving it around. I love days like this.
