Pumpkin Patch!

Saturday we visited the "pumpkin patch" in Long Beach. And by pumpkin patch we mean a vacant lot that has lots of pumpkins imported. They did have some really fun rides for kids and of course Emily especially loved the pony ride. She loves horses, I think she must get that from her cousin Madeline. She also rode a little train, flying pigs, and little cars. All the rides were of the typical "carny" variety, scary with even scarier operators, but she really had a great time. And, of course, we don't buy our pumpkins there since they charge an arm and a leg, but it was still a really fun time. It's so great to see our kids get excited over new experiences. I love autumn and although it's very different here in So. Cal it's still so fun to get out a celebrate.

Her most favorite event of the day.
