State College was abuzz with homecoming festivities all weekend and since we didn't even know who was playing, we headed in the opposite direction so Elliott could pick the perfect pumpkin! We drove out to the Way Fruit Farm where Sarah Palin held up lines the previous weekend while she pilfered a pumpkin.
Elliott made the rounds at the farm petting bunnies, commandeering the tractor and tiptoeing through the pumpkins.
We took the flatbed ride out to the outer pasture and with no roads in sight Elliott was free to frolic. However, a pumpkin patch is fraught with lurking vines waiting to trip up little boys so he had several face-first encounters with the rock-filled soil.
We returned home triumphantly as the roadways became saturated with Penn State bannered cars and trucks. The crisp fall afternoon was the perfect venue for Elliott to sport his purple monster halloween costume courtesy of our very own Tribeca Ricky's Halloween Store rep - the lovely great-aunt Kylee. He's not a very scary monster but he's sure to charm his way to candy at every doorstep where he ventures a "trick or treat."
