At the Pumpkin Patch
Ian was very excited yesterday as we all went to Berry Farm and rode the hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Ian then spent several minutes deciding which pumpkin he wanted. Of course he chose the biggest he could find, and one that he couldn't carry despite the warning posted in the field!

Fall is here ... Scooters and Wagons too!
Ian had a blast this weekend enjoying some gorgeous fall weather and hanging out the front of the house with his buddy, Cooper. The scooters were out for a little bit of racing as was Ian's Radio Flyer wagon, which all made for a fun afternoon.

Pumpkin Picking!
Yes, the pumpkins are ready for harvesting. Ian went to the Idaho Botanical Gardens today and picked a pumpkin, which he then enjoyed painting. Given the super warm days we've enjoyed, it didn't take long to dry either (you'll see Ian's handi-work on a plate with his name on in our photos, above)! Ian is very proud of his pumpkin and we rather think we'll all be doing more pumpkin painting before the month is over.
