Pumpkin Patch

This year we decided to try out the Pumpkin Patch by Del Mar Race Track. It was a huge step up from the one we went to last year! We met Ty and Kathy and the kids, bought a bunch of tickets, and had so much fun! The weather was absolutely beautiful! It was worth the money as there were tons of bouncy houses, rides, and even a petting zoo.

The first bouncy ride had a huge slide! Jack loved climbing up to the top, then got a little nervous to go down. So we just gently nudged him and off he went! Landon on the other hand, would just jump and go. He had on the perfect slipper pants to maximize his speed!

Mom's and Dad's get to have fun too!

We then did a couple of rides....choo choo train and cars. Jack still doesn't sit too well by himself for very long, so we always went with him. Landon went on an airplane ride by himself that went SO fast! I thought for sure he was going to throw up. But he held his own!

Jack's favorite part was definitely the petting zoo. They had bunnies, sheep, goats, roosters and a llama. He loves furry animals! He loves to pet them, ride them, and just get a reaction out of them.

So there was this goat that Jack was insisting on petting/bugging while it was eating. Finally the goat had enough and decided to head-butt him really hard in the stomach. It knocked Jack over, and Jack started laughing so hard. He thought the goat just wanted to play. So this repeated itself a few times, until I got worried that he was going to get kicked or something. I tried to capture it on camera, but the pictures don't really do it justice. We were all dying laughing!

And finally picking a pumpkin was the ultimate goal. We got a prize-worthy pumpkin to carve. Jack and Landon couldn't care less....they were just stoked to play with the wagons!
