Pumpkin Patch

We switched things up this year and headed to the lesser known Pumpkin Patch in Delta. There was no hay ride or apple at the end, and due to the torrential rains in October it was a muddy mess. All in all the kids enjoyed it though. Here are a few pictures.









We went over the Calvin and Shannon's house to carve them:

Stubborn as a mule? Stubborn as a 5 year old....

When Melody sets her mind to something, there's pretty much no going back. In many ways it can be positive, but from time to time, it's not fun. She's been unbelievably stubborn ever since she was 2 and a half. When she doesn't want to do something, it's woefully clear that there's no changing her mind. This time the annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch was the victim. Luckily Malcolm, Roger and Tracey enjoyed themselves. In other news, the surgery was a total success. Also, the teeth cleaning only resulted in one extraction. All in all the recovery process has been great, bouncing back quite well. As for the growth, the Vet believes it to be some sort of Melanoma. I don't think Roger and Tracey feel like it has to get tested, especially since it's now been removed. The eyelid will take about 10 days to heal, when the sutures have to be removed. Anyway, here are some recent pictures from the Pumpkin Patch: Malcolm appreciated it.

The tradition continues at the Pumpkin Patch

The family has been going to the Pumpkin Patch since 2008. It's interesting cause Roger and Tracey never went to the Pumpkin Patch as children. They were wondering when this transformation had actually taken place, because it's certainly become a booming business. For the four of us it cost nearly $50! Oh well, I guess that's how traditions live on, it has become a sort of tradition before Halloween. The other good thing is that we get a couple pretty nice pictures during our visit. Here are some from the weekend, thanks to the cooperative weather. I think it was the first year where the family was able to wear hoodies only. No toques this year.

Pumpkin Patch we meet again.

Another year, another visit to the Pumpkin Patch. We've had a stretch of dry weather the past couple of weeks. Really the fog has been pretty thick, but no rain to speak of. There are concerns that we'll get dumped on for Halloween though and that will be terrible for the kids. Here are some pictures from the Pumpkin Patch, the kids were pretty compliant this year.

Pumpkin Patch x2

Nothing like a trip to the pumpkin patch to signify fall; soon enough it will be Halloween. The family have put together some cool costumes for the day, they're just trying to put some finishing touches on Tracey's outfit. We'll keep it under our hats until Roger posts pictures.

Earlier in the week Roger went with Malcolm's class to Aldor Acres Farm in Langley. They were lucky enough to escape the heavy rains. It was nice to see Malcolm in his school environment. Roger even had a chance to talk to his teacher, who is pretty fantastic. All of Malcolm's classmates are very nice.

The family also had a chance to got with Aaden's family to the Pumpkin patch in Richmond over the weekend. We had some great weather on Saturday so a stroll through the fields was actually very nice. It's certainly becoming a yearly tradition. They all picked out some very nice pumpkins. They'll be carving them soon. Oh btw, my skin infection is much better with a dose of the antibiotics and shots things are healing nicely. I'm sure I'll be back to 100% in no time soon. Here are some pictures from the pumpkin patch:
