Pumpkin patch
We celebrated the fall season at the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. Even though it was unseasonably hot, it was still fun. Our friends, the Mollettas, went with us so that Benton could spend some quality time with his GF, Madelyn.
The Bento Box was not in a photogenic mood and the sun was ridiculous, so our pictures are unimpressive. But here they are anyway.

Obsessed with animals. He kept mooing at the goats.
Seriously adorable kids. Look like they could be siblings.
We didn't buy a pumpkin. But if we did, it would have been this one.
Tractor fascination.
With Dad on the hayride.
Family shot.
I guess we'll have to wait for Christmas tree season to have the sweatshirt and apple cider experience I was hoping for. At least Benton and Madelyn had a lovely date.

A Fair to Remember
Our house is divided when it comes to feelings about the county fair. I get excited about going to the fair every fall and love everything about it. Brack, not so much. I am happy to report that after we took Benton to the fair for the first time this weekend, Brack is now outnumbered by fair-lovers in our family.
No county fair is complete without livestock. This one had goats, chickens, bunnies, sheep, pigs, ponies and cows. Benton thought hearing the cow "moo" was hilarious. I'm glad he now has an experience to call to mind when we ask him what a cow says. Reference is everything, you know.
Benton rode the carousel, slid down the fun slide and picked a winning rubber duck to get a shiny new stuffed lion. He drank lemonade, watched pigs race, ate a funnel cake and even got up close and personal with a monkey.
About halfway through our time at the fair, Benton required a diaper change. About this same time, we also discovered we had no wipes. Oops. Enter the lovely Kiwanis Club with their complimentary rugrats play area. Changing table and wipes right in between the corn dogs and the funhouse. Lifesaver. Thanks, Kiwanis!
Benton's first fair experience couldn't have gone any better. I think he might even be able to talk Daddy into going back next year.
