Back to the Patch

We LOVE October in our house. The orange, black and purple decorations, the yummy treats, and the costumes. A child's dreamland for sure. Today, Sarah, Will and I made our annual trek to our favorite pumpkin patch - Lemos Farm - in Half Moon Bay. (You can see our 2009 Trip Here and our 2008 Trip Here. Incidentally, William is wearing the same sweater this year as last year, just in a smaller size. And Sarah, although you can't tell because she's wearing her jacket, is wearing the same pumpkin shirt. I didn't plan that. It just happened.) The morning was a little foggy, but by the time we left the sun was shining through. It was a perfect day! We met up with our friends, Angela, Sam, Audrey & JJ and boy did we have a blast.

First things first. Cinderella took a moment to pose for us. Sarah CAN'T WAIT for Halloween to come so she can wear her Cinderella costume all.day.long. Do I let her wear it to church? We will mostly be celebrating Halloween on Wednesday for playgroup and Saturday at our ward Halloween party, but is it going a little far to have her wear her beautiful OnceUponACostume (specially made by Aunt Valinda) gown to church on Sunday?


We rode ponies - Sarah couldn't wait!


Took pictures on the hay



Rode the train



Jumped in the playhouse - how did I not take a photo? - Rode the ponies


Fed the goats






Pretended to be cowgirls & cowboys


Rode the rocking horses - Yee-Haw!






Walked through the "scary" haunted house & met the grimm reaper (or scary man as Sarah referred to him)


Rode the ponies





Took pictures on the farm equipment


Took more pictures with the pumpkins




William made his own pumpkin maze



Fed the goats - this time we got to pet the goats in their pen. William LOVED LOVED LOVED it.







On our way out, Sarah made some new scarecrow-friends.


Bye Bye Lemos Farm. We just may have to make the extra effort to come from the East Bay next year!
