Today we spent our day visiting with Kim, Christa and Griffin and taking a trip out to Knox's Pumpkin Farm in the Oshawa area. It was fun watching Griffin run around and get all excited to see the animals, whereas Sebastian just seemed to relax and chill while going for a ride on his dad's back (thanks to Kim & Christa for letting us use their backpack carrier...Sebastian really seemed to really like it as he was able to look over his dad's shoulder and was eye level to us).

In the barn Sebastian was able to hear a cow actually moo and I was happy that it didn't frighten him at all. Jamie & I were able to pet the cow to show Sebastian how friendly such a big animal can be. Later to make up for not being able to pet the cow (we couldn't get him close enough...) Jamie took Sebastian to pet a tree and a tractor. Not too sure what Sebastian thought of either as I heard about this after the fact!

We then walked through the corn maze and eventually went on a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch. We had the option of getting off the tractor to pick our own pumpkins but we chose just to continue on with the ride. Since we don't get many kids at our house for Hallow's Eve I think we're just going to carve up the pie pumpkins I purchased from the market last week. Next year we'll get a larger pumpkin for Sebastian that he can help clean out! I can't wait!

After the farm we return to Kim & Christa's where we relaxed with fresh apple cider and strudel. Griffin is so good with Sebastian and it's so cute listening to him say "Bastian". Right now I think he's going to be the only person we allow to call him that!

Anyways, it was such a great spending time with friends and the weather was perfect! And I'm sure we are all going to be sleeping well tonight!

Hope everyone has a great week!
Kim
