Pumpkin Patch 2009

Today we took advantage of a beautiful fall day and headed to the pumpkin patch. I am still in search of a hayride riding, pick-up your-own pumpkin, pumpkin patch in Northern California, so we headed East to try out a new farm. The website promised pick your own pumpkins from the field as well as a corn maze and other fall activities, so I had hope.

The pumpkins were in a field, but they were not on the vine and there was no hayride. We had a great time anyway and I will continue to search for the perfect Pumpkin Patch!

Emma had a great time pulling the wagon

Our "pumpkin" is 3 feet tall!

Emma left the wagon when she saw the great hay maze they had

She was pretty good at finding her way in and out

Ian went in the maze tunnel, too!

Meanwhile, Daddy and Ian found some more fun

Well...Daddy thought the "corn box" was fun

Luckily, Emma liked the corn as much as Daddy did

Emma played with it,

Measured it,

and got buried in it!

Time to find some pumpkins!

We posed with the store pumpkins and then headed out to the field

Ian was not to sure about this, either...I think he was still traumatized by his corn experience

So he decided to have a snack while Emma rode this...

The Cow train!

We finally found a pumpkin...

or two...

Even an Ian sized pumpkin

One more photo op

and a pony ride and then we headed home...
We passed on the corn maze this year....maybe next year we will be ready to "get lost"
