Dear Bently,

Today we went to the pumpkin patch and it was a little rough for you! Now understand, I have been looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch since like September, maybe even earlier. It's one of my favorite family activities because the adults like it and the kids love it! So you can imagine my disappointment when you cried for half of the trip. You were obviously scared of something at the pumpkin patch. I think we finally came to the conclusion that you were scared of the animals, but that's just a guess. I was about to give up and just go home when I decided to try one more activity. You see, usually we can snap you out of it if we can distract you with something. So off we went to the corn pit. It's like a sandbox but filled with corn kernels. At first you wouldn't get in and it was just me, Dad and Livvy. Finally Dad picked you up and plopped you into the corn. That did it. I saw a small smile on your lips and I knew we were golden! You were 100% happy and adorable the rest of the time! You wanted to go on the hay ride and the slides and we went on a little animal train. The only disappointing thing was we didn't have much time to truly enjoy it after that because I had to work. But I'm just grateful we got some fun in there. :) You kept telling us you were going to be a farmer! It was adorable! And you still have a love for pumpkins. You would scream "PUMPKIN!" every time we saw one, which was very often! :)

We also went to Vernal this weekend to see Uncle Cole and Aunt Jen! We had a blast and you had so much fun with your cousins. It was so wonderful having older kids around to help watch you. You had more freedom than ever. I didn't even know where you were most of the time! ;) You ran outside and inside and played with their dog. It was entertaining to see how you interacted with all of your cousins! You were actually super good at sharing! And you and Skylar had a blast playing together! I always dreamed of these days when you two were born so close together! I can't wait for the summer when you can play with Skylar and Luke! :)

I love you so much handsome!

Love,
Mom
