Pumpkin patch field trip day

Tuesday was our first of two pumpkin patch field trips.  Scott's class (which is also Owen's class on Wednesdays) was first and Owen came along since its his class too, plus getting him dropped off at his two year old class and making to the field trip on time was never going to happen for me (I'm seriously screwed for kindergarten next year!).  
We were lucky enough to wake up to some fallish weather, which, if you know me, you know that's one of my biggest gripes about southern California weather.  I cannot stand going to the pumpkin patch in shorts and tank tops and eat popsicles afterwards.  Pumpkin patches are for flannel and vests and boots and hot chocolate...and chili for dinner.  It warmed up quickly but I was happy for some morning fog.
We arrived to meet up with Scott's bud Parker (aka batman) first thing.

These two are such cute friends!

We made our way through the corn maze to the pumpkin field and even got a little lesson about organic, sustainable farming (!!!!!!) from the farmer.

My guys picked their (tiny) pumpkins and then cooperated for a great pumpkin patch picture holding their pumpkin....:/

Deciding between them...

We came back and got to visit the animals

And again, another awesome pumpkin patch shot.  {eye roll}  Scott was just saying "cheeeeeeese" and looking around without smiling.  Lovely guys.

After the field trip came to a close we shopped in their farm stand for yummy organic produce (and Owen ate one of his teacher's entire baskets of strawberries that she had just bought...we replaced it!) and then headed to the beach with some school friends!

Because its totally normal to go to the beach the same day as the pumpkin patch...


We went to harbor cove which is known for its tiny waves so its super fun for the kids to swim.


 We flew kites...











And chased birds...


And swam...


 Until it was time to get dried off and head over to Mimi and Papa's for dinner.
The Richard gals even joined us!  It was super fun!
Scott and Zo helped Mimi make the gluten free cornbread, which made it extra delicious of course!



We all stayed for a shower and stories too...
 Its pretty fun to have an amazing Mimi and Papa to share with your friends...

Stay tuned next week for our second pumpkin patch field trip with Owen's class.  I invited Scott since siblings are welcome, he asked if his friends were coming, I told him just Owen's classmates, he said "ummm no thanks!"
