Pumpkins, Take Two

Juliet and I went to lunch in Half Moon Bay with some friends and their munchkins. Then we all headed to the pumpkin patch at Pastorino Farms. When Juliet saw the little scene with cutouts for photo ops, she went right behind it and stuck her face through the hole for her picture. She must have remembered the concept from our trip to Fairyland. She surprises me every day with something new (I have probably already said that on another post, but it's true!). There are more photos from the outing on Nikki's blog (I knew she would show off and post her photos of the day first!).


See Juliet exploring and smelling the flowers.


The petting zoo:


Juliet had a big first at Pastorino: her first pony ride!! The other pumpkin patch we went to doesn't allow kids who have to be accompanied by parents, so I assumed that we were going to have to wait a few years for ponies, but not here! I wasn't sure how she was going to react. She just looked a little puzzled. Not really scared, but not enthused either (I think I was excited enough for both of us, anyway). See for yourself...


Our last adventure was the train ride. After that we were beat and it was time to head home. I expected that Juliet would take her nap on the way home. No such luck... The beautiful drive up the coast had a rather unappealing soundtrack. I will never again neglect to pack milk when I know I will be in the car with her for a long stretch. We've been cutting back on the (soy) milk per doctor's orders, but it was not worth it in this instance!
