Halloween III - Adventures in the Pumpkin Patch

I have been waiting for Halloween this year for many reasons:

  1. Evann is finally old enough to understand the concept of Halloween (get candy).
  2. We're in the new place where there's LOTS of kids to trick or treat.
  3. I bought Evann's dragon costume last year just after Halloween (75% off). Super cute and cheap (what's better?)
  4. Evann should get a LOT of candy this year with all my Jedi "getting candy" lessons
  5. I get Evann's candy.






With Mommy L. being so close to giving birth to Eburn (well...we do live in East Burnaby...don't worry, that won't be the name), we decided that we wanted to do some pregnancy and family pictures. Our good friend and photographer extraordinaire, Uncle Ben was kind enough to "volunteer" (thanks Ben).

With Halloween being the nearest holiday, we decided that a pumpkin patch would be appropo. We were blessed with some great weather for the shoot (though it was mucky from days of rains prior). Thankfully Mommy L. was smart and bought some rubber boots (my first pair of rubber boots since elementary school). Unfortunately for Uncle Ben, he didn't have any rubber boots.





This place had everything! We rode on a wagon full of hay bales pulled by a tractor with musicians playing banjos and guitars. There was a corn maze, pigs, horses, ducks and goats! And of course, lots of pumpkins! And lots of mucky mud!!! What more could a kid ask for?!? I had forgotten how fun it was to walk in mud especially with big rubber boots! It really returned me back to my childhood (not that it was that long ago). ;)


I love this picture. Evann would stare down every tractor (and there were a lot of them). It was so cute. I think Evann either realized that these were real tractors or the BIGGEST toys he's ever seen.








Next year's going to be even more fun with Baby #2.








I wonder how much candy he'll get???








I can't wait to find out...

Here's the real time chronicles of my sons (there's 2 now) from the days before birth to present day from the father's point of view.
