Pumpkin Patch

We took our girl to the pumpkin patch on Friday afternoon. I wish there was something this fun and festive for other holidays in Visalia. Can't someone open a beautiful Christmas tree farm with fun activities for kids? Bottom line: I love the pumpkin patch.



We read a book called Apples, Apples, Apples about a family of rabbits who went to an orchard to pick apples. Jovie was REALLY into the book. She was fascinated that they got to ride on a tractor and pick apples. So, I knew she was going to love the pumpkin patch...tractor pulled hay ride...picking out a pumpkin. The book starred Minna and Pip. So, when we saw this cut out naturally Jov thought it was Minna and Pip.

Jovial was so quiet and contemplative while we were here. It seemed like she just wanted to take it all in.

She loves the white pumpkins and I could tell she really wanted to take this one home.


Last year she was only 2 feet! Such a big girl!


We also met the Armerding's there, they make everything more fun.

The girls even enjoyed the ride on the ricketyest wagon not in a museum.

Jovie finally hopped out to help Tay.



I wish I could have a corn pit in my own backyard, so much better than sand.
