The Pumpkin Patch

Every year, the weekend before the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival, Marc and I take the girls to the pumpkin patch at Arata's farm. It has become a family-favorite tradition that now includes my Mom. She flies out every year for Gracie's birthday. (Ah, note to self: must do blog about Gracie's bday party!)

The girls love to search for the best pumpkin. It could be round, tall, squat...doesn't matter, perfect is in the eye of the beholder!
 Arata farm  has a large coliseum built from hay bales. They have jousting with guys dressed as knights. They also have a maze from hay bales but the girls have yet to try that out because they are afraid they will get lost.


 Emma loves to pose for pictures and pumpkin day is no different!




 There is a little playground that the girls love, and it comes with Monkey bars supported by.....you guessed it, Bales of HAY!!!
 There is also a big pile of pumpkins near the monkey bars. We couldn't resist clamouring in for a picture op!

 It was a beautiful fall day with plenty of sunshine, pumpkins, and lots of laughter!





 Marc and the girls pose for a few photos, too. Check out that hair!!





Aren't they cute???? LOL!
