pumpkin patch round 1..

October 17th, 2010

50% of that little belly was the best pumpkin bar I have ever had ;)

I say round one for many a reason.. one.. we forgot the stroller.. which I thought would be ok.. but I was not anticipating the 1000 people that would be there.. which brings me to number 2.. going to a pumpkin patch.. on a Sunday.. after the church rush.. because my sickey little household couldn’t get their act together before noon.. we never arrived at the patch until the one o’clock hour.. which is apparently when us and the 1000 people who were literally at the pumpkin patch joined together to find pumpkins.. it was a mad house.. we almost turned around.. but the weather was kind.. and we were there.. so we tried it out.. we finally found parking.. and walked the football length to the farm.. it took me 20 minutes just to buy a bottle of water.. and the hot dog line was 5 rows of 50 men deep.. so I stuck to a pumpkin bar.. which was amazing.. but it wasn’t a fair/farm-ville hot dog.. we walked around some more.. and realized also.. that we couldn’t carry olive and a couple giant pumpkins all the way to the car.. so we vowed to be back.. or pick them them up at Safeway this year ;)

we did have a great time.. in this nice sunny fall weather.. olive ran off some energy.. saw tons of airplaines.. and tapped on pumpkins like a set of drums.. 

we will be back.. perhaps on a monday.. when things are a little less out of control.. 

now both our little unborn babes have been to The Farm pumpkin patch even before they stepped foot on this earth.. and until we make the apple barn in abbotsford our home stomping ground.. this will do.. it is an insane farm with a pig show.. caramel apples.. pumpkins.. corn maze.. petting zoo.. putting grounds.. and lots of yummy delicious baked goods of anything pumpkin.. I told myself some sweet little old lady with a 50 year old recipe baked those goods.. because they tasted like perfection I tell you.. I would have taken a picture.. but it wasn’t around long enough to be snapped..
