Here in Massachusetts I'm having a hard time finding a similar "memory" for Mikey. I researched some places online and found Brooksby Farm in Peabody (where Michael works). They were listed as having a pumpkin field as well as a pumpkin patch. When we got there I was a little disappointed to only find the pumpkin patch--which is a collection of previously picked pumpkins to sort through and find "the one". Even though its not what I was anticipating, we had a very fun afternoon!
It wound up being a beautiful day reaching 70 degrees! Mikey picked the BEST pumpkin of the bunch and loved scooping up the woodchips that the pumpkins were on. We saw a llama and sheep and had a picnic! Michael and I also enjoyed the cinnamon doughnuts. Yum!
We ordered Mikey's costume this weekend. Since he is going trick-or-treating with his friend, Ellie (AKA: Princess Leia), we figured it was only appropriate that they coordinate. Mikey is going to be Ewok from Star Wars. This will be an experience for me because I don't think I've seen a Star Wars movie from start to finish therefore, I have no clue who Ewok even is!! (Although I have seen Spaceballs too many times to count!)
Here are some shots from the day:
(And he's off.......)
(Mikey loves anything having to do with wheels or transportation--carts included)
(Mmmmm....pumpkin)

Bummer that the farm was disappointing. You'd never know it from those cute picture though!!:)
ReplyDeleteAlli - as long as you've seen Spaceballs, there is no need to see Star Wars. One of Jude's favorite lines right now is, "We can't stop, it's too dangerous, we have to slow down first!"
