Pumpkin Patch Express

Due to the potential of inclement weather in N.C. the weekend before Halloween (Hello, Sandy), our excursion to The Museum of Life and Science for their Pumpkin Patch Express was postponed until last weekend. I was disappointed, but it was all the same to Sam.

Celebrating the new Alpaca exhibit (they were so awesome).

Finally, if you'll indulge me, a then and now moment.
