We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and aside from the one teenager dressed in some scary mask who tried to freak Phinn out the kids thought they were in heaven!
We discovered this fun patch last year, it’s called Tanaka Farms for all you locals and we will never be the same again! Ha! But anyways because it’s a farm there is tons of wide open space to just run…. And throw pumpkins!!! Phinn wanted to throw absolutely every pumpkin he touched and Lou went slip slidin on the plastic that lines the rows! They laughed non stop and and I tried real hard to let them do their thing and enjoy their time!
It also happened to be Lou’s birthday so we are thinking of making October 20th a pumpkin patch tradition! I love traditions and believe they serve as such an awesome marker in our memories so i desire to give them to my kids! Starting new ones can be tough and easily forgotten so this one seems simple, fun, and easy!! One that will be enjoyed by all and easy to maintain! Hahha
So here’s to many more pumpkin patch explorations and a lot more family photos!
