Pumpkin Patch


Fall is officially here! After having a week of 90 degree weather, cooler temperatures have come so off to the pumpkin patch we went! It was a busy day- full of a 50 mile bike ride for Derek up Mt. Diablo, then a BBQ with friends afterwards in Moraga (thanks again Rawley and Mithona!). A bunch of our Berkeley friends were heading up to Clayton Farm so we decided why not make the day even more awesome than it already was?!?


It was a lot of fun! Despite the fact that there was no bouncy house, it was a true farm experience. It had hay mazes, water duck races, "pumpking seed" pools, basketball through tubes in the hay and bean bag tosses, animals to feed, trains to ride and kettle corn. Oh, and of course pumpkins.





It was nice to be way out in the country, where all you see are the rolling golden hills. After the kids were done playing, we continued the party in the town of Clayton at Skipolini's. It is definitely THE pizza joint in town...tons of team dinners, crazy kids and families. (**on a side note, Skipolini's is where Derek and I ate in Walnut Creek to attempt to induce labor. We ate the Prego Pizza, and sure enough Jack came just a few days later. haha**)

It was a blast to kick off the fall season with such fun fall activities and lots of great friends!

I didn't know about the prego pizza! That is funny stuff! So glad fall is here and nothing says fall and halloween then a pumpkin patch! I can't believe those pumpkin seed pools, never heard of such a thing. Can you imagine cleaning all those seeds to put in there?!

This reminds me of last year when we hit up all those pumpkin patches. Southern California is kind of the best when it comes to bouncy houses. We miss you guys!
