Pumpkin Patch…

Yucaipa is well known in this area for the Live Oak Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Tree Farm.  We’ve seen it every year that we’ve lived here but haven’t wanted to go mostly because of how crowded the off-ramp becomes and it just seems sooo busy.  But, since we have a little boy who loves to run and be outside, and we now get an early morning start, we thought we’d go right when it opens and see what it was all about.  :)  The family had a great time.   We saw goats and horses and a giant boa constrictor and the farm had lots of attractions for kiddos that Chompy enjoyed staring at :)  There was lots of room to run and climb and play!   Once again proving that autumn is my favorite time in the Inland Empire! :)

Ok, ok.  I guess we’ll be responsible for him.

There’s so much to see that it was hard for momma and daddy to get smiley pretty pictures with Chompy.  Oh well :) He’s still cute!

See you later!  Chompy and momma will definitely come here at least once more this season.  It’s free and a fun way to be outside (and wear someone out for naptime).

New…

Since we moved in we’ve been trying to revive the lawn and garden.  We’ve had some successes in the roses starting to bloom again, but the grass no matter how often we water has only returned in patches.  So, a couple of weeks ago, Josh and Chompy went and got some grass seed and lawn fertilizer and with a lot of water, we now have spots of green and spots of new grass.  Yippee!
