Tanaka Farms

We had a busy weekend. On Saturday I went to a baby shower for Tracy Ventura. It was at a Tea House and it was lovely. It was like a tea part for grown ups. So fun. Jenny and I talked about taking the girls sometime for lunch. I think that they would love it. I also thought it would be really fun to get all the girls in the family together (like mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, etc.). Wouldn't that be fun. Anyways, the shower was a lot of fun. Good food, good games, and very good company. While I was at the shower Matt took Emily to a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese. They had a great time there.

On Saturday afternoon, we went with my sister and family to Tanaka Farms. It is a pumpkin patch with tons of other fun things to do there. We picked vegetables out of the ground (carrots, onion, radishes, green beans, etc). I've never done that before so it was great. I felt like a farmer. Then we took the kids on wheelbarrow rides around the huge pumpkin patch. They had a pumpkin launcher that was really cool. They would take a pumpkin and launch it way up in the air into a hill and try to hit the target. Really cool. The whole experience reminded me of Roloff Farms. You would know what I was talking about if you watch Little People, Big World. We also did a corn maze, petting zoo, hay mazes, and all sorts of fun things. This pumpkin patch was huge and really a great time for the kids.

The weekend just kind of flew by but we had a great time. I think that it's all catching up with me. I'm kind of feeling a little cold like today so I'm trying to take it easy. Jack also sounds like he's coming down with something. Hopefully we'll get some rest and it won't hit us because we have another busy week ahead of us.
