Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Charlie's Preschool, Jitterbugs, went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch, Tolmachoff Farms. Iva and I were lucky enough that we got to tag along. Shawn was on call so he stayed home with Henry (and had the babysitter on standby.)

Going as part of a field trip was a lot of fun. The kids got to do everything and then some more. They picked vegetables, did the corn maze, rode the train, and played all over the farm. Charlie was really happy to have Iva there and the two of them just stuck together. They even picked tiny pumpkins to take home that were right next to each other. Goofy kids.

       

Tolmachoff Farms

I love fall- it is my favorite season. And I LOVE trips to the pumpkin patch. I love getting bundled up and wandering around trying to find the "perfect" pumpkin. I was pretty sad when everyone in Idaho Falls started posting pictures of them bundled up and heading to U Pick Red Barn on Facebook/ Instagram. I love that place. (We even took Charlie there last year when he was less than a week old because I didn't want to miss going before Halloween came.)

Today my sadness is gone. We found a pumpkin patch in Arizona and it actually felt looked like fall. (It was still hot.) We went to Tolmachoff Farms with our friends, Abby/ Clara and Jill/Juliette/Lucy. Shawn and Abby's husband, Eric, met us there after we had been there for an hour so and they had a study break. We stayed for about three hours and could have stayed longer.

There was so much to do and see... Pumpkin patch, petting zoo, corn box, bounce house, bounce blob, pedal carts, and more. Iva was filthy and loved every second of it. Charlie had fun hanging out with dada too.

Iva's first time on the blob- she hadn't quite figured it out yet.

Letting the horse "lick" her hand.

 

 

Charlie loved the pedal carts with dada.

Round two on the blob:
She figured it out! And her feet even left the ground at the same time.

 

She loved laying flat and letting everyone else bounce her. She is wild!

 Happy Halloween from the Catmulls!

Iva was too cool to be part of our family picture... Shawn said it was perfect.

Oh and just so we remember that we are in Arizona... goats and palm trees because that is completely normal on the farm.
