The Pumpkin Patch

Colby and Taylor standing in the VERY hot sun!
Our view from the "Look-Out" at some of the corn maze!

Taylor really wanted to take a picture, lucky me! I guess
I should be thankful to be next to "Tour Guide Barbie".

Colby and Taylor part-way into the corn maze. I have

no idea why Taylor is holding an ear of corn!

Part of the never-ending pumpkin patch! We have never

seen so many huge pumpkins before.

Between here and Tracy on I-5, there is a huge pumpkin patch! It actually looks like a small carnival there are so many things to do. Colby and Taylor really wanted to go this year and go through the corn maze but mostly they wanted to do the "Pumpkin Blasters". This is much like the tennis ball launcher that we have only they use small pumpkins.

So after Taylor's basketball game we headed to the pumpkin patch. It was like going to a state fair, there were so many people there! I was a little worried about the corn maze because I do not have a good sense of direction. However, many thanks to Colby, he managed to get us through. We did stop at a couple of look-outs for him to gauge where we were at. I just nodded my head and agreed with what he said because he seemed so confident. I kept worrying that someone was going to jump out of the corn and scare us!

The pumpkin blaster line was so long that the boys ended up not doing it because it was hot, yes Mother Nature still thinks Northern California is in the middle of summer, and we were thirsty and gritty! We did buy four pumkins, though, and Taylor won with his pumpkin weighing in at 30 pounds! Who's going to help him carve that out?
