Sawyer went with his friends to a wonderful pumpkin patch in Half Moon Bay yesterday. I’d love to say that the hour trip getting there was uneventful, but as things go with Sawyer and our car, it wasn’t. Sawyer’s friend Madeline showed Sawyer how to open the door handles in the back seat. Sawyer, being slightly stronger than Madeline, was able to actually open the door… while I was driving! Needless to say, I have now learned how the child locks work, but I didn’t appreciate the cop who “helped” us when we stopped. He berated me for incorrectly pulling to the side. He hoped that I would be a better driver in the future… especially because I was a mother. Luckily, I kept my cool, and didn’t tell the cop with the ridiculous little mustache to go to hell.
At least the pumpkin patch was well worth the trip.
The tombstone behind Sawyer reads “Here lies Mr. D. Ceased”. That was pretty funny.
There was a train! Enough said!
Sawyer got to finally wear his wellies.
This was all Sawyer. It would make a pretty good Levi’s ad too.
Looking at the ducks.
These horses were a very big hit with Sawyer.
In the future, we will try to get a group shot closer to the beginning of the outing… not the end.
I do like that Sawyer is the “king of the pumpkin” though!
Last Tuesday after swimming, Sawyer and I played for a while at the Crissy Field beach on the bay. I saw a park officer on a horse and thought that Sawyer might like to meet them. As we got close to the horse, I realized that the officer was giving a ticket to a couple on the beach. After Sawyer and I quietly made our way back to the road next to the beach, his eye was caught by a large yellow digger. He headed right for it. My favorite moment in this video is about seven seconds in when he says “DIGGER!”
Lucky for us, after we played with the digger and followed the doggies, the officer came our way with the horse. My videos from here on down sort of miss the important moments like meeting the horse (it happened right after I turned off the camera)…
…like me getting caught in a wave when Sawyer and I get a little to close (which happened right after I turned of the camera)…
…and especially missing the moment when Sawyer got way to close to the edge, got drenched by a sneaker wave, kept walking into the water, fell face forward, and had me rescue him. We were both incredibly wet. I was surprised that the bay water was not as cold as I expected. Sawyer was surprised to be wet. What a sandy mess. This is why the video is only 17 seconds long. I had to shove it into my pocket quite quickly while I was pulling Sawyer out of the water.
