pa's pumpkin patch

we went to the same pumpkin patch we've been to since jake's 1st halloween.  matt wasn't busy building a fence this year, so he came with us and my mom came, too.  jake loved riding all of the rides, while sophie just chilled in the stroller with grandma.  he loved the petting zoo of course and kept calling it the animal circus because of the big tent.  he wasn't scared to feed the animals, like a few months ago at adventure city.  he loved the big jumbo slide and had no fear of going all the way to the top without us.  he was hesitant to ride the pony (he actually picked the horse to ride) but like a good mommy, i forced him to get on.  my mom and matt were going to let him pass but i'm determined to have a kid opposite of me (worrier, anxiety-ridden and fearful of the unknown...ok, a bit exaggerated but mostly true).  so we i forced him on even while he was saying " i want to get off", and you know what...he rode without crying and and afterwards, he said, "mommy, i did it!".  proud moment!
