Pumpkinland

Yesterday was a beautiful fall day (unlike the past couple of cold weeks). Jim got home from work early, and we decided to take Jack to a pumpkin patch. We had a lot of fun. Jack liked everything there. It was hard to get him to move from one activity to the next, but when he did go to the next activity he liked it just as much as the previous one. The first thing we did was go down this fun slide. Jack wanted to "do it by Jack's self."


Next, Jack and Daddy were going to go through this completely dark tunnel. We didn't have a flashlight with us and the tunnels are long, so we opted for a shorter one instead. The short, kid's tunnel was much better for Jack and he could go all by himself.
Jack needs to be a little taller to ride this tractor by himself. He is tall enough to sit while Daddy pushes him, though.
This horse made of tires was not quite as fun as the real horse he got to ride a few weeks ago, but it put a smile on his face nonetheless.
Jack went through this small maze. Later the three of us went through a big maze of corn. We couldn't see over the stalks of corn, so it was exciting for all of us.
After climbing the spiderweb, there is a slide on the other side!
One of Jack's favorite things to do these days is pretend he is a digger. He makes his hand into a scoop and "digs" stuff like a digger does. He enjoyed digging the hay and then throwing it up in the air.
Our little pumpkin!
Well, I am almost 41 weeks pregnant; the most pregnant I have ever been. :) I am going in to the hospital tomorrow morning for an induction, if I don't go into labor on my own before then. I have been having contractions today, but I don't know that they are quite strong enough to send me to the hospital. Hopefully we will be able to update the blog tomorrow with pictures of our new little boy or girl!
