Picking Pumpkins at the Patch

Virginia decided it was time to get into the Halloween spirit and took us with her on her first visit to a pumpkin patch this week. She invited her friend Natasha along to maximize baby cuteness. Plus, Natasha's parents are real Halloween experts. Natasha's dad Dan was unfortunately under the weather, so her mom Irene came along alone.

The girls loved running among the pumpkins and even shared a pony ride. Virginia also took a ride on the train -- which she loved until it stopped. We were then treated with a full blown terrible twos tantrum, which is still kind of amusing to us because Virginia is just starting the process. I'm sure once she's had 100s of such tantrums, we won't find them as amusing. She made a speedy recovery, purchased some pumpkins and went on her way.
