pumpkin patch play

i love the spur of moment outings with the neighborhood friends.  we visited irvine regional park for their annual pumpkin patch.  when we went 4 years ago both  j & i had no desire to go back just due to the crazy crowds.  but this was early enough in the month of october that it was not too crowded.  maddie had the most fun with all of her buddies, and reese loved copying all of the big kids.

{one of the highlights was all of these picture props.}

{"cheeeeeese"}

{one thing she luv, luv, luvs and always asks for is to have her face painted. this paint lady was awesome!}

{panning for gold.}

{even the dads got into it!}
