Pumpkin Patch

We had a great day at the Pumpkin Patches...yep, we went to more than one. The first one wasn't patch friendly...way too muddy and too many Yellow Jackets....why are these still out? So we looked at all the animals and then took off:

"I don't wanna be a ZEBRA!!!!"

If Ethan could talk in words we understood, that is what he would be saying about his Halloween costume. We tried on the Zebra to ensure it would fit; here is the progression of the events:
