Trip to Lane Farms Pumpkin Patch
October was another full month. We made it a priority to visit one of our local pumpkin patch sites which was complete with a corn maze, tractor rides, goats & sheep, and row upon row of bright orange pumpkins to run through. Ivy had a great time, exploring the colorful squash.
October 5, Ivy turned 2!~ We celebrated by picking a baby pumpkin that had been faithfully growing outside our cottage. We opened a few gifts that had come in the mail, and ended the day with cupcakes and candles. Jon's staff of 10 students joined us in singing Happy Birthday to Westmont's youngest resident. She LOVED blowing out the candles and I think enjoyed eating the cupcake even more. For Halloween, Ivy was a ladybug. We joined with our friends the Lees and the Sunukjians for some trick-or-treating around faculty housing. After the first few houses, Ivy really got the hang of things and kept turning around with a beaming face to hold up her little bucket of candy, exclaiming, "I GOT! I GOT!". Meaning, "Mom, Dad, LOOK WHAT I GOT! CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THIS?" She had a great time, and would have kept knocking on doors late into the night had we let her. A very satisfying first real Halloween experience.
