More Fall Fun

After a trip to New York a few weeks ago we stayed with my parents in NJ to relax for the weekend. Unfortunately, that relaxing turned in to nasty colds for Lisa and Ryan and a case of walking pneumonia for my mom.

Before all of that set in, though, we made it to a great pumpkin patch and farm.

Ryan really wanted to pick up his own pumpkin but just wouldn't settle for one his own size...





The Farm was filled with all sorts of great animals. There were sheep and goats and cows, llamas and alpacas. There were even Zonkeys!! yes, a cross between a zebra and a donkey.







but for Ryan, the most entertaining thing around was the barn cat that he found wandering around the yard..




The trip to NY needs its own update - just imagine my 6.5 month pregnant wife taking the subway with our spirited toddler who has no problem yelling about the lady with a mole on her face. all this for a few hours at the Bronx Zoo; Or mornings in Central Park where Lisa was the only actual mom, as opposed to a nanny, there with her child....the hits just keep coming.
