It's the Great Pumpkin, Connor Estee!

Today we headed off to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch with our friends Meg, Dave, and Mairead. Our first stop was the small petting zoo the orchard has set up for the kids. Connor saw his first sheep, turkey, chicken, and goat. There was actually a turkey wandering around the premises, but he kept his distance from us (do you blame him?). Connor seemed most interested in the chicken, but when the old billy goat with the very long beard came by, Connor thought he was pretty funny.

Next, we took the kids to the pumpkins. Both Mairead and Connor seemed to love this. They were probably wondering what all the giant orange toys were. Connor loved to bang on the pumpkins. I'm sure if he had it his way, he'd roll the pumpkins all over the farm. He loves to do that with all of his toys.

After a snack, we purchased pumpkins and cider and headed off to pick apples. Unfortunately, the orchard itself was closed (apparently Columbus Day weekend is the last of the picking). We headed back to the store to buy a couple bags of apples, then went back to our house for some yummy Thai food with Meg and Dave. All in all, it was a very fun day!


Connor's first Cider donut!


Picking the right pumpkin.


Neither one of them looked at the camera at the same time. But they're still too cute!


Again, neither one looked at the same time, but that's what photoshop is for, right?
