Pumpkin Patch 2014

 We had our annual family pumpkin patch trip the first weekend in October.  This was the weekend that we went up to Sonora.  Our original plans were to go to the pumpkin patch in Turlock but because it was 97 degrees that day and we had Deuce with us since we were traveling all weekend we had to make a change in plans to drop Deuce off at home and try out the Vista (which is in Merced) this was a must since he would not be able to wait in the very hot car if we went to Turlock.  We have been to the Vista before but this was papa's, titi's and gaga's first time.  It was fun and definitely got us into the pumpkin spirit for the season.  It was a little tricky to feel 100% like fall because of the weather.  My kids were troopers though especially because I made them wear long sleeves and jeans for a few pictures. 

 The sun did drive them crazy!!!


Game time! They sure don't make it look like almost 100 degrees lol!


 Our wonderful family!!! 
It's hard to believe that we have been doing our annual pumpkin patch trips for 7 years now! It's so much fun to look back on all the pictures and see the kids grow.

 One more picture before I let them change into shorts and short sleeve.
 The Vista is beautiful and has so many fun things to do.  We got to do all the games, hay ride, corn maze, garden walk and play in the corn and cotton pits.
 The corn pit is one of our favorites but this time when we went to jump in there were hundreds of live crickets and roaches it was disgusting!!!!!!! Papa and daddy didn't seem that bothered but the rest of us were pretty grossed out!
 The Cotton was much better and cleaner.





 Gaga pulling in papa.
 The corn maze is always an adventure. The kids have learned from papa to run ahead and hide in the corn husk and then jump out when we walk by, they love scaring us.  
We actually did pretty well and I think completed it in like 20 minutes.
 Time to pick out our pumpkins. 
After the patch we loaded up and went to Black Bear Diner for dinner.  It was a great time and a wonderful end to a fabulous weekend. 
Happy Fall Y'all
