Our Life in Focus: Fall Fun

I feel like we packed as much as we possibly could into this past weekend. The weather was gorgeous & we had lots of fun family time. We kicked off the weekend by heading to the park for a little playtime before dinner. Palmer insisted on sitting in the very front of the swing & leaning forward, but he sure did love it- I think these smiles prove it!

He also loved watching the water from the pier- he was so focused on the waves and...

... the bark on this tree.

Palmer also enjoyed putting his climbing skills to good use on the playground & quickly found his favorite part- the slide.

Saturday, we headed back to the island for a little pumpkin patch fun. It was a workout for mommy & daddy, but I think Palmer enjoyed it. He went straight for the little pumpkins- they were just his size. He was pretty proud to carry them around.

These next 2 pictures sum up our trip the pumpkin patch pretty well... Palmer thought these pumpkins were balls meant for throwing and climbing/walking on. He didn't see a sea of orange pumpkins before him, he saw a sea of orange balls! So, much of Mike's time was spent trying to prevent these actions:)

Showing mommy his tiny little pumpkin!

We actually spent more on baked goods than we did pumpkins- oops! We haven't given Palmer cake since his birthday party, so I thought it would be fun to give him one of the cupcakes we bought after he finished his lunch. It was pretty entertaining- much like his smash cake, he was slow getting into it, but by the end, he was all business. Aunt Coco, I think we have another cupcake fan in the family:)
