The Little Farmer

Saturday we headed to our local pumpkin patch/apple orchard, "The Little Farmer". It is a local favorite, and every fall we all look forward to going. It's a place that's fun for people of all ages, but even more enjoyable when you get to bring your own little one there and experience it through their eyes.

Last year, I was so excited to take Morgan there for the first time. I must admit, it was a little bit of a let down last year because he was so little that he obviously couldn't really get into it yet. 

But this year was a different story. He LOVED it. He loves the crisp air and soft breezes and it's so fun to just watch him relish in it as it wisps through his long locks of hair. He loves watching people in general, but he also loves watching other children. As we walked around the play area, letting him lead the way, it was so fun to watch his face as he took everything in with amazement. 

This year he was able to swing in the swings in the play area, munch on freshly baked muffins and apples with us, go on the hay ride, pick out pumpkins and watch the farm animals. He was so into watching everything that was going on around him, that it was hard to get him to peel his eyes away long enough to look at the camera.

This first picture was snapped in the same spot last year and this year.

What a difference a year makes!
