Last Saturday the Grad-Parents organization here at UCSD planned a trip to a pumpkin patch. It was raining in the morning, and we weren't really planning on going, but when we realized we didn't have any other obligations, we decided to go spur of the moment. It felt like a fall day (yippe!) so we felt like doing a fall-ish thing.
We ended up having a great time. The Grad-Parents sponsored entry to the petting zoo. There were bunnies, a turtle, several chickens, a llama, a goat, and some little guinea pigs. The llama came a little too close to Noah, and he demanded to be in my arms the rest of our time there. Harrison loved petting the soft bunnies, and thought the guinea pigs were really cute. The goat thought the denim on my jacket might taste nice - I'm just glad he didn't get any skin in that bite!
From there we headed over to the hay and corn mazes they had set up. Noah and Harrison could have played for hours on those bails of hay.
They climbed jumped ran and fell through them.
Harrison raced through the corn maze, leading the way and directing us where the dead ends were, and when to turn around. Once he got to the end, he promptly turned around to go back the other way. Next we headed to the pumpkins. Since we already have 7 pumpkins from our own pumpkin patch we weren't in the market to buy any, but it was fun to tromp through the patch. It was an interesting patch in that it was actually a strawberry patch with pumpkins placed on the straweberry bushes, but I don't think the boys minded at all. I'm glad we did this spur of the moment, because the original plan was to go to Julian today, and hit a pumpkin patch on the way - but these
fires have changed all that....
