The Booth Ohana: Pa's Pumpkin Patch

Pa's Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to Pa's Pumpkin Patch. It was our first year there. Held on the same grounds and hosted by the same group that does Snowy Pines Christmas Trees which is where we
used to go hunting for our Christmas tree. Pa's is down on PCH by the Marina Shopping Center.

Our friends, Cakestina and her fellas met us down there for some pumpkin patch fun and Ruby's for dinner afterwards. We bought some tickets and it was so much fun watching JT and HeaBug roam/run through the pumpkins of all sizes and play games. They each road ponies (then HeaBug asked Mr. B for one of her own), jumped in the big pumpkin jumper, shot cork guns and threw darts. They slid down the giant inflatable slide and navigated their way through the house of mirrors.

JT is my Jr backup photog... It's how I snag pics of me with Mr. B. He's great at focusing and learning about shooting in aperture priority mode.

There is music playing throughout the patch and sometimes... when you hear the music... you must dance.

My kiddos happily obliged for pictures. They're used to it by now and rarely fuss. HeaBug enjoys smiling for the camera and often asks me to take pictures of her doing something funny so she can see, or to take pictures of a toy that she's going to put away so that she won't miss it later... Silly girl.

Man this guy is the best dad. Sure does help that he's so handsome too... He too has learned that it's better to just smile and patiently await the inevitable click. I caught him across the Pony Pen... looking all manly.

JT rode so that his sister wouldn't have to ride alone. He's such a good sport. I think he really liked it but said he'd rather ride a horse that goes "really fast". HeaBug was over the moon to ride her pony. She decided when we left that she was going to have a Cowgirl Birthday... Her birthday is still 4 months away. Love my little planner.
