The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we visited a real farm to pick out our pumpkins. All of us plus Grammy, Granddaddy, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Amanda, Juliette, and even Aunt Wendy made our way to Tenaka Farms in Irvine. We took a ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor, saw a way cool pumpkin canon, found plies of pumpkins to climb on, got "lost" in a corn maze, met a few scarecrows, and picked out our very own pumpkins right off the vine. It was a warm afternoon, but my heart was especially warmed with all the great family fun time we got in. I took a ton of pictures, so I'll just try to include the best ones. We will definitely be going back during another season to check out another one of their "tours." After dinner each kid and I worked on making their "Mr. Potato Head" pumpkins - or I guess "Mr. Pumkin Head" would be more accurate.
(P.S. If you see an extra guy in any of the pictures, it is "Flat Stanley." We are helping out our cousin Blair from Georgia out with her school project.)
