Pumpkin patch-well sort of




Dave, Mia, and I went to Schnepf Farms on Thursday to experience a real Fall pumpkin patch. Mia loved it-she thought the traveling performer and dog show from San Francisco was interesting, a little desperate, and sort of sad. This guy had some fun tricks, but his props were sub-par and I guess dropping his flaming sticks while juggling wasn't in his routine necessarily. We started sweating a few minutes later on our way to the pig races in the 95 degree heat, and found a scrap of shade to sit under while we watched the pigs and goats race around an old track yelling "suuu-weee!" From there we headed over to the petting zoo that had "germ" signs posted all over it, so we cautiously walked Mia through for experience sake and noticed that she was ready to fall asleep, so we hurried over to the "pumpkin patch." There were hardly any pumpkins there (take a look at the background of Mia's pumpkin picture), so we gathered a few together for a photo-op with Mimi and took a few pics while she was falling asleep. Oh well, I guess this isn't Roloff Farms in Oregon, it's Arizona.

So when do you want to get together to watch t.v.?

Um by the way, hilarious post. The germ signs description killed me over here. And Roloff farms...know just from t.v. or actually been there? Also a good show, not as funny as Jon and Kate plus 8, but still worth watching when one is alone and bored. I was feelingsad that we never made it out to Shnepff farms, but now, not so much.

I soooo wanted to take the kids this year. I am sorry it was hot and sweaty, but you could have twelve layers or long johns under her ADORABLE chicken suit instead- this is way better :)
