Pumpkin Patch!

We were surprised to find there was a pumpkin patch in the desert! I was very pleasantly surprised at their offerings and was thrilled we could take Sophie this year.


Buckelew Farm
was a pretty long drive for us but that allowed The Little Miss to get a morning nap in on the ride over. We had her Nana and Yeye meet us there where we went through the petting zoo then took a "hayride" to the patch.


Sophie loved all the pumpkins and instantly wanted down to crawl in the dirt and vines. Because we're in the desert the patch wasn't your standard flat field - each patch had raised bed rows where the pumpkins grew and the "gutters" were for irrigation purposes. Not the easiest place for the Peanut to crawl around but she tried her best!




Once we were home, she was able to pose with her pumpkins. Any time we walk by the pumpkins here at home she wants to stop and pat them.
