Pumpkin Patch 2010

Saturday we made our 3rd annual trek to the Pumpkin Festival at the Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. We had to brave the crowds and schlepping without Dad this year, but I did get to park in handicapped parking, so that made it easier. And some lovely friends met us there, so that made it even better.

Eli's official costume wasn't ready yet, but we just happen to have on hand a pair of Aztec jaguar jammies the fella brought home from the British Museum. That'll work. So I whipped up a jaguar hood to go with...and Eli actually wore it.

He was a little too well camouflaged in the corn.
Amos revived the vintage tortoise look, circa 2008.

Keeping an eye out for those wily hidden jaguars.





Sweethearts Jon and Christa came too. They were such fun and a huge help!

Bird or Bug?


Intermission.



Cutie Leo!

Maya and Eli - Team Pumpkin!



Finding the perfect pumpkin is one dirty job!


What fun! Happy almost Halloween!
