More Fall Stuff

A few weeks ago we went to Alexandria to check out Nate's old stomping grounds from 10 years ago.

We saw a fire truck in Alexandria.

We went to the George Washington Masonic Memorial. There are lots of stairs and lots of George Washingtons.

A few days later I took Beckett to Clark's Ellioak Farm. This is when I discovered that Beckett likes tractors (big surprise). In the picture below he was watching them intently.

Beckett showed off his animal husbandry skills, fostered by the Deanna Rose Farmstead, in the petting pen.

I vastly prefer the Deanna Rose Farmstead (both in terms of animals, attractions, and price), but Clark's has these cute nursery rhyme-inspired structures.  The shoe from "The Little Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe" is a slide.

Beckett loved this little train.

We took a turn around the pumpkin patch. However, it wasn't until Halloween that I would realize Beckett's intent interest in pumpkins. Seriously. We have taken several walks around the neighborhood where he stops at every house that has a pumpkin on the porch and checks it out, often saying "hiya punkin." He got two pumpkins at Nate's work's Halloween party that he carried around the entire time saying, "a punkin, another punkin." He lies those pumpkins on their sides and says, "night-night punkin." I have four little squishy pumpkins that Beckett's been taking to bed and feeding drinks.

Before we could leave Clark's I told Beckett we needed to try and get one good pumpkin shot. This is the best we could do.
