To The Pumpkin Patch

We made our way to Hawes Farm yesterday in Anderson, CA. They have a new Hawes Farm Express Train. Of course we had to ride it!!! It was sooo much fun, David LOVED IT! We had a wonderful time up there, it was a nice day a little warm with an occasional cool breeze. Toby slept most of the day up there because it was too hot on him. We ended up getting 3 pumpkins and the grand total of the weight was 67 LBS! We'll have our work cut out for us trying to manuvuer those babies when we go to carve them!

The Train circled the Pumpkin Patch

so you could scope out the best pumpkins!

This is before the train ride! He was so excited

we had to have our pictures taken in the other train too
(David insisted upon it)

we were just getting back from the pumpkin patch
and standing in line to weigh the pumpkins

David decided to pull mommy on the wagon!

G.G. is giving a little push to make him think he

is extra strong!

Davids First Carnival Ride

David got to go on his very first carnival ride at the fair this year. It was the called the Berry Go Round. It was the little - little kids version of the Tilt A Whirl, without the tilt part. Mommy and Daddy decided that we'd both ride with him that way it wouldn't scare him. Toby had to sit this one out with the Grandparents! Not that I'm complaining because every child deserves the carnival ride experience atleast once! However the cost made it so that we could only ride one ride. Tickets were $1.00 a piece and it was a minimum of 3 tickets per person per ride. It cost $9.00 for us to give David the carnival ride experience! Don't get me wrong it was worth it, but I remember paying $10.00 for an all day carnival ride pass! A bag of cotton candy was $4.00 for a small bag. A funnel cake was $8.00 without toppings! Oh and a bottle of water the 20 oz size $2.00 a bottle! Not to mention it was $7.00 a person to get into the Fair!

The Tehama District Fair

The local fair was in town in the last part of September. We decided to follow tradition and go to see what we could see and to watch the destruction derby! The fair was really small this year and the prices of things... well don't get me started! They were outrageous!!!!!!
