The Pumpkin Patch and Night Eyes

We kicked off Halloween with a visit to the Pumpkin Patch... Who needs sand? Only in Iowa can you find fun in a corn bin.

Finding the perfect pumpkin..."I like this one"

"Better make sure nobody takes it from me."

"I can get it..."

" I think I can manage..."

"Hey mom, can you get it for me?"

We took Cole to Night Eyes at the Blank Park Zoo and he made some new friends

"Did you hear the one about the frog and the goat?"

This is Cole sliding down the HUGE slide

This is Cole not wanting to leave the HUGE slide.

After leaving the slide, Cole was treated to an ice cream sandwich. Apparently, he felt that he needed some alone time and walked by himself to find the perfect place for a snack. We apologize to all those families taking pictures who now have an unidentified frog lurking in their family photos.
