Pumpkins!

Today we decided to get some of the obligatory fall (never mind that it must have been close to 80 degrees today) children-and-pumpkin pictures, especially of Rebecca, who has never been subjected to such indignity before. This morning we got a couple pics of her in the front yard with a rather large pumpkin, and then this afternoon we took the kids to a pumpkin patch where we did the whole hay ride/petting zoo/pumpkin picking thing.

I was proud of Joel, who despite his E-coli paranoia, allowed the kids to partake in the petting zoo experience, although he nearly had a heart attack when Rebecca decided to bite the goat enclosure (do they make a Purell for that?). Pictures - including goat-enclosure-biting-incident - below.

Looks like lots of fun! I can relate to Joel's being less than thrilled w/ the petting zoo thing. Though I didn't know it was because of e-coli. I had a mini-meltdown at the zoo a while back - in the deer forest. The deer were very aggressive and surrounding us and licking us and licking all over the stroller, and there was lots of deer poop on the ground.
