The Great Pumpkin Patch







Mark, Abby and I went to the pumpkin patch out here in Hayden. I'd never been and having the opportunity to try it out with just half my crew was appealing. Mark had a ball. Being somewhat like an only child for a few hours really brought out a much more cooperative and less competitive personality. It was amazing and fun to watch him. It was all so new and he was just taking it all in. Abby slept pretty much the whole time and stayed in the sling. It was crazy hot, but we brought our water and stayed out of the sun too much. Mark rode a pony and his reaction was completely opposite of what I expected. He pretty much climbed up on it himself and started saying "GO COW!!" (having access to the petting farm helped clear up the cow/horse issue) Anyhow, when the "cow" finally started moving I fully expected him to freak out. Never happened. He just squealed and screamed out "Ima cowboy!" And he kept pushing my hand away so he could ride alone. I was more scared for him than he was!
