Pumpkins and Dinosaurs

Last week we took a trip to a pumpkin farm out in the suburbs with some friends. 

Lexi was enthralled by the pumpkin-eating dinosaur. We had to go back three times during the course of the morning to watch it move around, chomp up its pumpkin, and then let out a huge belch with some steam. Most of the four-year-olds were too scared, but Lexi was a little bit in love. 

Playing with friends

 Lyla in her starfish suit (passed down from Lexi. If you want to see Lexi in the same suit at the same pumpkin patch, click here). 

 My sweet potatoes. 

HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS!!!!!!

Not to be left out, I shrunk too. 

After returning to her normal size, Lexi tried to pick up all the biggest pumpkins..... Maybe next year. ;)

Woody on steroids. Lexi was in her glory. 

And of course, Buzz gets a hug too. 

 And Rex.

 Straw maze. I was scared poopless. I kept losing Lexi around every turn, which of course, made her run even faster because she thought it was hilarious to lose me. Little people should not be allowed in straw mazes. Period. 

This tunnel was pretty awesome though. Lyla wanted to be in the picture too.

Running towards the light!

 Fire engine time with friends! 

Lexi is still tiny and cute.

By the end of the morning, Lyla looked like this. 

And Lexi looked like this. See the pain on her face? It is screaming nap time.

Within five minutes of leaving the pumpkin farm, Lexi looked like this. ;)

Almost forgot to mention...this particular pumpkin farm also brings in a few hundred exotic animals during their fall season. Along with giraffes, and a bunch of animals I have never heard of or seen before, we also met this guy. Had to share. His chops are rather remarkable.

And speaking of pumpkins, my lovely chevron painted pumpkin made it outside to adorn our front porch. And now it looks like this. Thank you squirrels.
