We had a busy Columbus Day weekend. It's nice because Nick has Monday off since we works with the government, so we always get to have a lot of family time.
This year we were so excited to take Henry to the pumpkin patch. It's something Nick and I have done for the past two years and although Henry went last year, we thought he'd really enjoy it this year. He loves to be outside and this was the perfect day to do so.
We usually get to go on Columbus Day because Nick and I are both off work, but this year I wasn't, we went the Sunday before. We weren't ready for all the crowds but had a great time anyway. Henry's favorite part was the tractor ride out to the patch. He wasn't as excited as we thought he would be when we got out there. The ground isn't especially easy for a 17-month-old to navigate and he wanted to be held a lot.
We still had a great time and got a few good pictures! Enjoy!

On actual Columbus Day we went to the zoo. We got a pass for the year and every time we've gone Henry has enjoyed it a little more. He seems to enjoy the other kids more than the animals at times. It was a great three day weekend and we were blessed with nice weather and got outside a lot.

| What you can't see here is that there is a semi-circle of people looking at the gorilla, so Henry walked right up so that he would be right in front of everyone. He thought this was hilarious. he hardly noticed the giant gorilla behind him. He clearly liked being the center of attention. |
