Pumpkin Day

Back in April the facilities crew at my work planted an enormous pumpkin patch at one edge of campus. The pumpkins finally ripened and they hosted "Pumpkin Day" for all the kids yesterday. All the kids got to go into the (consolidated) patch and pick out a pumpkin to bring home.

They had lots of other great activities for the kids--coloring, remote control cars, and of course, a bounce house. The families with little ones waited until the bigger kids cleared out so we could take the little guys in to play. Anthony really wasn't quite sure what to make of the whole thing and had a clear lack of interest in the pumpkin we helped him pick out. He'd also taken a very abbreviated morning nap which probably didn't help.

He did seem to enjoy meeting other kids and I enjoyed showing him off.
He also waved bye-bye to the organizers when we thanked them for a neat event.

In the spring there is an Easter Egg hunt. I bet he'll enjoy that.
(We missed Family Day last month as we had other plans. They had a petting zoo there, I bet he would have really liked that.)
