Pumpkin Pickin'

We took a trip to our favorite farm in orange county this morning, to check out the pumpkin patch. Granny Sue and Nana came along too! It is a cool, cloudy, and almost misty day here, which is rare, but actually quite nice. It did warm up by noon to about 70 degrees, but it was still very overcast and moist, so it felt like a very appropriate day to do something so "fall-ish". Tanaka Farms is orange county's only 100% working farm, and it is 100% organic too! It is a (dirt-loving, active, energetic) kid's paradise! They have wagon rides that take you around the farm, the engine is actually a tractor, but that work's in our favor because Kalani is pretty into tractors these days :) And during the pumpkin season, they also have a corn maze and a petting zoo. I noticed today, that Kalani is becoming quite used to the petting zoo's, we go to them on a fairly regular basis these days. He went from one goat or sheep to the next (usually the only animals at these petting zoo's, this one also had a couple little pigs running around), making sure to give each and everyone one a little pat on the head or back, like it was his task to complete. It was quite funny!


Kalani really liked this one...


and this one really liked Nana

Kalani thought this one was "biiiig!"

Disneyland!


I feel like I am really a southern California mom now, because I LOVE going to Disneyland! I not only did not expect, but I did not even think about certain things when I decided to move down here. I never really thought about Disneyland for the first, oh, 9 months I was here. And now I have an annual pass!
Some special people get a 'shout out' on this post ~ Pertz and Sar, WHAT, WHAT!!
