I Heart Fall Saturdays!

Ahhh.... Fall!!! The weather has changed (FINALLY!), the leaves are turning, and the pumpkins are bright orange. Does it get any better than that???

Yesterday we spent a fun filled day with Grandma and Grandpa and Cousin T. We started our day helping Grandpa deliver wood to a family in Sebastopol who is going to use it to make a picnic table. The family has a large property with some fruit trees, a small garden, tons of flowers, a pasture with 40+ chickens, 4 roosters, a dozen or so Guinea fowl, and a large turkey, etc. They have a neat little playhouse in the yard and what looks to be the foundation of an AWESOME tree house built WAY up (so high up that the wife has never been up there and the kids aren't allowed to try it) in an old redwood tree.


After delivering the wood we ate lunch and then headed over to
Peter Pumpkin Patch. I had heard great things about this place so we thought we'd try it out.
It was GREAT! There was a ton to do there and it was all FREE (except ice cream and pumpkins of course)!

I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story...

Playing in the hay maze...

"I am the king of the world!"

Where's Grandma?

Taking a little rest....

Climbing the hay pyramid...

Going on a hay ride...

Milking a cow...

Climbing on tractors...

Eating freshly made ice cream...

Finding the perfect pumpkins...

Digging for potatoes is hard work!

One more wagon ride...

And a good time was had by all! Happy pumpkin hunting!

Anna's school did a field trip there last year, and it was really fun. Except for the yellow jackets. Were they as bad this year? That, and trucking my pregnant ass around that whole farm...it's HUGE! Glad you had fun. LOVE the whole family pic!
