Halloween Bonanza -Part 2: The Parade

Saturday morning, Sam and I headed over to Pixie Park for a Halloween parade. It was more of a "walk-around-the-Magnolia-tree" situation but we had a good time anyway. I didn't capture actual footage of said "parade," but I did get some cute shots....

Never one to replace his mother, Sam fell head over heals for this lady. I know she's a bit taller than Sam but he's only four and I'm sure he'll catch up to her one day. He asked her to take a picture with him...It went something like this:

Sam: Hey tall lady?
Tall Lady: Yes?
Sam : Oh, Mami, you go over there. Ok, yeah...Hey tall lady, will you take a picture with me?
Tall Lady: Of course, pirate!

Below are said pictures...sigh, me.

Hawk Camp

Sunday morning, Daddy took Sam on a hike to Hawk Camp. It is over by the Golden Gate Bridge and boasts some beautiful views. In all, the boys hiked about 4.5 miles round trip. Phew!

Before any hiking trip, Sam has a few things he likes to bring along:
Backpack = check
Walking stick = check
Compass = check
First aid kit(in backpack) = check

Sam also likes to be a fotog and here is his picture of daddy:

Halloween Bonanza - Part 1: The Patch

Ever since Sam turned two, I have fallen in love with pumkin patches. I'm not sure why I love them, I just do. Anyhow, on Sunday, we decided to go to our local pumkin patch. Sam had a chance to drive a wagon, ride on a huge slide, and pick some pumpkins.

The picture below is the garden made by the "Women of St. Vincent's":

Here is our courtesy sibling shot...You'll notice that each of them went from mild interest to zero interest pretty quickly:

Here is Izzy B, attempting to imitate a scarecrow:

In order to get some pumpkins, we made Sam perform some wagon duty. We figured Izzy B weighs slightly more than a pumpkin so Sam would be more than prepared for hauling them later:
