Pumpkin Patch

Our first annual (hopefully) trip to the pumpkin patch. We all ran through the haybale maze, ran through the pumpkin patch and Jadon picked out a small pumpkin to take home and paint and Haven patted a dog. It didn't take Jadon long to figure out the maze and Haven had to use a little help from Daddy, but she did a really good job getting through it.
The lady that worked there loved Jadon and Haven. Jadon informed her that the pumpkin he picked was his favorite and then gave it a big hug. Going back to Haven petting a dog, this is a big deal. She loves animals as long as there is something between her and them or they are on tv. If they get too close to her she starts screaming. We thought we were going to have to get a dog to help her get over her fear. The first thing she saw when we got out of the car was the dog and behold she ran over to it. We were a little shocked and even more so when she reached out to pet it. The dog was so good and just layed there.
Jadon got to take his pumpkin home and paint it that night. Next year Haven will get to pick out a pumpkin to decorate. She still puts way too much things in her mouth to be given paint. We had a great family day and hopefully going to the pumpkin patch will turn into a Wallace tradition. I'm all about traditions in the Wallace household.

Haven petting the dog, still amazed she went near it.

Looks like Jadon had lots of fun with that pumkin! And I'm glad to hear that Haven liked the dog. I think everyone should like dogs. :)
