Super fun Fall weekend: farms, trains, clowns and pumpkins.

Ready for the corn maze.
Duck races!


I had a good weekend. My friend Caleb was going to go with me to soccer and then come over to play for a while while his Mom and Dad were doing stuff for work. Unfortunately, soccer was cancelled because the field conditions were poor (from all the rain we got), but instead Mom and Dad took us to Ellm's Family Farm - the place where I had my birthday party! It was really great because even though Caleb wasn't able to make it to my party, we still got to have fun at the farm. We took a ride on the Moo Moo Choo Choo and had fun walking through the corn maze and going down the slides and riding trikes and having plastic duck races. We ate lunch there and had cider donuts for dessert.

After that, we dropped Caleb off and noticed that some guy in a yellow jumpsuit and red hair was at "Old MacDonald's." Mom and Dad brought me inside and I talked to the guy from the TV commercials. He gave me a picture of himself and wrote his name on it. Then Dad took a picture of us. Dad said his name was Ronald McDonald, then mumbled something about clowns. I think maybe Dad doesn't care too much for clowns.

Then we drove to Kingston and stayed with G'ma and G'pa M. I played with Dad's old toys and helped G'ma make dinner. Then next day we took a ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad's Halloween train. I got to sit in the caboose and look out the back door. After our train ride, we went to Gill's Farm stand and picked (and painted) a small pumpkin, got my face painted (a little jack-o-lantern on my cheek), and watched a guy shoot a pumpkin out of a huge cannon. 

It was a busy, but fun, weekend!



Monsters!
