Westham Island Herb Farm.

Man was it cold! There was an icy wind out... Luckily both Ryan and Emma were bundled up. We looked around in the pumpkin patch, bought some yummy organic carrots and left with a few more pumpkins as well.

Sunday morning.

Had an early morning. Drove over to Science World and Ryan rode his bike and played for awhile at the playground.

The Pumpkin Patch at Richmond Farms.

This year we went to The Pumpkin Patch at Richmond Farms to pick our pumpkins. Ryan's buddy Cole and his Dad Don joined us on a very sunny and warm October afternoon.

Ralph Lauren ad without the Ralph Lauren... LOL!

Ryan unusually sitting quietly and Cole ready to party...

OK, if Cole can do it... So can I. Both Ryan and Cole had a blast climbing over the hay barrels/seating at the concert stage.

Petting zoo at Richmond Farms... There were lamas, chickens, goats... oh my!

Cole with his Daddy Don on the hay ride to the pumpkin patch.

Ryan trying to figure out how he can be a monkey.

Waiting patiently...

"Come one Cole... Let's go!"

Emma wasn't too sure about the whole pumpkin patch thing. Safe and sound in Daddies arms.

They make pumpkins in my size?

Ryan, checking out all the pumpkins...

Hmmmm maybe I want this one?

Oh no! I broke it!

I think this is the one...

Yes, confirmed... "Mama! This one!"

Finishing up the collecting and on our way back to the hay ride.

Talking to the ladies...

Where'd she go?

Morning walk at Spanish Banks.

Except for the cold... Summer just doesn't seem to want to end.

Happy camper Emma.

"I'm liking these walks Mom."

"Look Dad... No hands!"

These bibs suck... When am I going to stop barfing so I can look like a little girl not a baby.

"Say what?"

Kisses for Emma...

"Stop giving me kisses big brother... You have a snotty nose!"

OMG... We're all looking at the camera!

Visit with Jenna.

Jen was out from Halifax this past week. She passed by and had lunch with us at our place.

Me and my two fingers again.

"No! You don't say..."

My famous big eye'd "Bugs Bunny" look.

Bike ride with Dad.

Ryan's getting better and better at riding his run bike. He coasts along very well and has lifted his feet a few times. When Ryan approaches a curb, instead of riding up the inclined slope (from the road to the sidewalk) he takes the longer route and must flip his front wheel up to climb the actual curb (pictured below)... Pretty soon he'll be hopping those curbs... The Lil BMXer. Here are some snaps from Ryan riding in our neighbourhood.
