2nd Halloween

Last Halloween we tried one of the crazy and very crowded pumpkin patches along the only road into Half moon Bay. It was nice enough, but this year for Halloween we took a little trip down to an out of the way pumpkin patch a little farther down the coast.  Unfortunately we went right before nap time, so Lily had just fallen asleep when we arrived and had a tiny case of the grumps. We were quite pleased that there was almost no one there and we could have free reign, along with being able to get photos devoid of random people :). Our first stop was to see the cow and goats, which Lily was very excited about…until the cow let out a giant “moo”. It was so loud and unexpected for her that she got quite scared and was very hesitant to go near. She was content, however, with watching the animals from the top of the giant hay stack. We then headed over the the field with the pumpkins  and let Lily roam free. She seemed to have lots of fun running among the pumpkins and playing on the very old truck that seemed to have met its end in the middle of the field.  When she made it clear that she really needed her nap we headed home, though with a little reluctance since it was a perfect sunny 70 degrees at the coast (which is not the most common occurrence here). We didn’t go out trick-or-treating and we hadn’t gotten her a costume this year since she already had a little Halloween outfit from Grandma, but I don’t think Lil minded one bit. A few days earlier we had attended our ward’s Halloween party where Lil got to see all of her friends dressed up and got her hands on a few pieces of candy.
