Pumpkin got a pumpkin!

So we took pumpkin, aka aurora, to the pumpkin patch yesterday afternoon!!!!! It was great..she had a blast just wondering all over the place.. there was little mini trains and firetrucks she could ride on and she was very interested in them. We took a ride on the little train, i thought she would be scared, but she wasnt..she just stared in amazement the entire time.. I was kinda bummed that they didnt have a petting zoo this year, but oh well... We took forever picking out a pumpkin and we had a few contenders, but at last came upon our "perfect" pumpkin (other than aurora of course...) So we paid and left after being there for awhile.. Pumpkin seemed interested in the pumpkins, but even more interested in the wood chips on the ground..lol

Later on in the evening my father babysat while John and I went out together with a few of his friends from work. To the horse race track of all places.. I had never been, its quite interesting. On of the friends from work apparently owns a horse and races him there... well his horse won and we all got to go down and take a pic in the winners circle.. he said he is gonna email John the pic.. so when he does.. ill put it up :) And I did place a few little bets..bout nine dollars and won more than double my money.. in the end we came home with all the money back we had spent at the pumpkin patch and then a little more. : ) All in all..it was fun.
