Pumpkin Patch Time!


Well, we finally made it out to the pumpkin patch this year! No, it wasn't our usual Bishop's Pumpkin Farm trip, and it was a VERY short visit, no thanks to the wind and Ava as well as myself still getting over the flu bug, but the kids had fun non the less and we came home with some great pumpkins. :)

We visited a lil place off Old Auburn Blvd called The Pumpkin Farm(though it truthfully doesn't look like they even grow anything other than CORN there...) on a recommendation from a friend. Plus, it was a LOT closer than Bishop's, which is out in Wheatland, almost an hour away.

Anyhow, The Pumpkin Farm is cute, it has the hay rides and the train and all that other stuff, though we didn't partake in much other than the petting zoo(ick, yes I have a serious aversion to petting farms, always have) and pumpkin picking. The kiddos had a blast picking out pumpkins and petting those darn animals. The wind was seriously kicking that day, though. We soon found out that lil miss has the same disdain for the wind that she has always had...bummer. Not as bad as it used to be, though. Ava used to do this odd thing where she would gasp and kinda laugh but also kinda...not breathe in a gust of wind. Yeah...odd. She doesn't do that anymore, this was an infant thing, but she still really isn't a fan of wind. Who can blame her though!

A few photos from our trip...

Super cute photos! That pumpkin farm is very close to my house. I found it when I was running one day and was so surprised to see it sitting there in a pretty residential area. Glad you guys had a good time despite the wind and the flu. Hope you are all back to 100% soon!
