Joy School Pumpkin Patch

Thursday, Morgan's Joy School group invited siblings and mommies to come to the Pumpkin Patch with her class. We found the coolest place called Pulitzer Farms out in wine country that has a real farm, farm animals, pig racing, and a great pumpkin patch. We got to pet all the animals, learn about them, go in a corn maze, and pick our favorite pumpkins. It was a HIT! I put tyler in a pair of tan overalls which was my attempt to dress the part, to fit in with all the farmers we'd get to meet. He liked that he had pants on like Farmer Ben. I however thought he looked like a hillbilly and have decided that I am officially NOT a fan of overalls. I think I wore a pair back in the early 90's when it was cool to wear them and one strap hanging down! Did any of you do the same and feel as "COOL" as I did? I look back and just shake my head, SERIOUSLY - what was I thinking! But anyway, back to the pumpkin patch, Tyler's favorite part was the train, he went back to it like 3 or 4 times. Morgan loved the corn maze! She was the leader most of the way through it. I think we got stuck in every dead end the maze provided. Brooklyn was taken with all the animals, but would scream everytime I tried to put her down. This was the first time ever, I think she's seen a live animal up close, and was not sure of her safety. After the maze we got to see the pigs race and push volleyballs around the pen, then walk by the HUGE sunflowers. After that we had a snack at the picnic table and picked out our favorite pumpkins. It was a fun day. It has now become our official tradition to visit at least 1 pumpkin patch every October. We took Morgan since she was 1 yr old, and ever since her 2nd visit, it has been something she really looks forward to. Its so fun to now see Tyler's excitment. What was once so fun to do with one child, is even now more fun and enjoyable to make memories with the both of them and see Brooklyn now coming up in the ranks. We are looking forward to going to a 2nd one this week for Family night so daddy can join in the fun this next time around.
