Pumpkin Patch Kid

We took our first trip to the Pumpkin Patch this week. A perfect outing for a sunny fall day. Brock wore a special outfit...a cowboy shirt and vest that I wore when I was little and that all of my cousins have worn, too. My Mimi and my cousins sent the outfit to Brock, "the newest cowboy", a few weeks after he was born so he can carry on the tradition. With it, they sent photos of all of them wearing the outfit which are also hanging in my Mimi's Cowboy Bathroom. The outfit is much too big for Brock right now, but he let me put it on him anyway, and he bore with me while I sat him on hay bales, propped him against pumpkins, and took a ridiculous amount of pictures. As we were leaving the Pumpkin Patch, we saw a cute little girl, about 4 years old, with a teeny tiny pumpkin in her hand. I said, "Aw, I like your baby pumpkin." "I like your baby," she replied with a shy smile. It made my day. I like him, too.
