October in New Mexico

So October in New Mexico has to be my favorite time in this state. Balloon Fiesta, pumpkin patches, green chile roasting, and cooler weather!














Well, we didn't make the morning Balloon Fiesta this year due to my work schedule and weather, but we did attempt the Special Shapes Balloon Glow. Key word...."attempt". My friend, Rosa and I sat in 2 hours of traffic with our 3 young boys...and ended up just seeing the firework display...oh well...next year! At least Soren had a good time with his buddies, Dylan and Josh, in the Radio Flyer wagon!!

However, Soren did get to go to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch in Morarity with Aunt Debbie. What a beautiful day! The weather was perfect and Soren was so excited this year. We took the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and got 3 pumpkins. Soren however was more interested in the rotting pumpkins with flies all around them...not the pretty orange ones that mama liked!

Soren got to see all the farm animals and ride the "cow train"! This was definitely the highlight of the trip. It was the cutest little train pulled by a tractor around the farm. All the visitors were waving to the kids as they rang their cow bells. Who wants more Cow Bell? Soren was in heaven!
