:The Pumpkin Patch:

We went yesterday with Chase's class to a local pumpkin patch.

After seeing my sis-in-law's pictures of a pumpkin patch in WA state, I use this term LOOSELY!

But it was fun nonetheless...it was an unusual October day in San Diego - gray skies, cool temps, drizzle...

so that made it extra enjoyable to actually feel like Fall.

We've been to patches in years past when it is in the 90's (see earlier post about hot October!)

**I'm sorry there are so many, I had a hard time editing!**

This is her favorite stance these days and it cracks me up...

We had a little pumpkin education,

then a hayride,

then got lost in a corn maze,

then picked out our own small pumpkin to take home,

then jumped off the hay bales and sat on an old tractor.

Then the day got even better as it started raining really hard...perfect for a quiet afternoon.

But, alas, I heard on the news this morning that by this time next week it will be 30 degrees hotter!!

BLAH!!!!
