Last October, Nora was barely a month old so although we did make a trip to the pumpkin patch and dress her up in full costume, it was a pretty low key month aside from that. Now that she is a bit older, we have a schedule packed full of activities to take part in this month. I should also note that the weather here is becoming absolutely beautiful. We still have the warm afternoons but the morning and evening temperatures feel delightful :)
We started off October by going to The Galloping Grace Pumpkin Patch with our wonderful friends from the West side Moms Group. Luckily, it is not far from our casa and is free to get in (hence why we will most likely be going back again later this month) so it made for an enjoyable morning. Of course I had to get Nora a special Halloween outfit to wear for this outing as I knew it would be a prime opportunity for taking photos...
Nora had a great time even with being tired. (we are trying to transition her to one nap a day and do away with her morning nap). She was amazed with all the pumpkins and the first thing she got to do was sit in a huge pile of corn kernels. She really enjoyed feeling the corn with her hands and feet as she cruised about. I did have to pull a few kernels out of her mouth however as we are still in the "I need to eat everything" phase. She was also very excited to get to see some animals. Nora LOVES animals of all kinds. Of course she calls them all dogs but she had fun pointing at the goats, horse, chickens and even bunnies. Since Nora also loves water I let her get a bit wet as she played with all her little friends in the duck pond. The last activity before heading out however, had to have been her favorite (or at least got the most smiles), she got to ride around on a mini John Deere Tractor. She had gotten to do this at the state fair a couple weeks ago so she jumped on there like a pro and had a blast. All in all, I think the trip was a big success.
Nick and I plan on taking Nora to the larger pumpkin patch located about 45 minutes outside of Albuquerque later this month so be sure to stay tuned for even more adorable photos of the little lady! She has also got quite the darling Halloween costume picked out as well so we will be excited when the end of the month rolls around. Well, our Fall is definitely off to a fun start and we hope y'all's is too :))))
