A Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

Today we went with our friends to Tanaka Farms. The trip started off a little rocky as we had assumed Sam's one pair of sneakers were in the car. They weren't, so Steve drove the 20 minutes back home with the little boy to retrieve them.


We started off with a tractor trailer ride around the grounds. Tanaka Farms is a 30-acre farm complete with seasonal vegetables and all sorts of amenities, including a corn maze and petting zoo.


Whew! We were able to meet up with Steve and Sam. Rachel took some nice family photos for us.


It was worth the drive home as Sam was on his feet non-stop, touring the farm and petting the animals.


Even Anna knows a photo op when she's in one.


Even though other families wanted to take pictures of their kids at the top of the haystack, they could see Sam was having such a good time being King of the Hill, so they found some other photo opportunities elsewhere.

It was a lovely fall day, cool with clear skies. A fun family day.
