Pumpkins, pigs and .... naptime!





Eli went to a pumpkin patch for the first time today with Sarah, Elliot, Alicia and Rowan. We went to EZ Orchards north of Salem. Eli loved the baby pigs, who were snorting and oinking the entire time. A small goat nippled on Eli's foot and he thought that was pretty funny.

We looked at pumpkins in the pumpkin patch and Eli even stood up by himself for a good 3 minutes while leaning against a particularly big pumpkin. He looks like such a big boy when he is standing without help. We didn't do a hayride, but Eli sat on a big stack of haybales. He didn't really like it -- the hay was poking him and he wanted off!

The trip must have really worn him out because he fell asleep on the car ride home and stayed asleep for another 2 hours and 15 minutes after I put him in his crib. Whew, pumpkins and pigs really make ya need a nap :)
