Pumpkin Patch

This fall we went to the pumpkin patch with our friends Joshua and Noah. The boys had a great time but I miss going to a real pumpkin patch in a real field or farm. But here in L.A. they bring the farm to the Albertson's parking lot. :\ The boys didn't care at all but I felt a little claustrophobic. It was still a lot of fun though. There was a lot of activities for the boys and they were all smiles and laughter. :)

There was a hay bail maze.

At first, they were trying to find their way around the maze the conventional way like everyone else. . .

but then they just decided that it was easier just to climb over the hay bails.

The petting zoo was by far Ben's favorite thing about the pumpkin patch. He fell in love with the bunny. He must have followed it around for like 15 minutes. They had to practically kick him out of the petting zoo to let those who were standing in line come in.


Who knew they would have a roller coaster at the pumpkin patch! This is the kind of roller coaster that my boys will actually ride!
Ben was begging me to buy a pumpkin there but I couldn't bring myself to spend $20 on a pumpkin that would cost $5 at Vons. That seemed a little pricey to me. Is that how all pumpkin patches are?!
Why is it that these boys will make guns out of anything - sticks, paperclips, bananas, balloons, pumpkins - you name it!

It was a fun day and as you can see from this picture they were a little wired after the whole experience. Too exhausted to look at the camera I guess!!
