The Pumpkin Patch 2011

Kurt is finishing up his two week vacation he took this month and we have had such a great time. We have a great time just relaxing and enjoying our first Fall season in our beautiful new home. We even got away for a fun weekend to Las Vegas with our brother and sister in-law. Who are the kind of people who know how to have a great time in Vegas. Our trip involved a amazing suit at the new Cosmopolitan hotel, private cabanas by the pool, some awesome food and drinks and to top it off Jimmy Buffet at the MGM. Which was a first for Kurt but definitely not a last now. Since we have been home though we have been enjoying some really great family time with our three adorable munchkins. Today it was the pumpkin patch. My favorite pumpkin patches were always Tanaka Farms and Irvine Park pumpkins patches. So I will admitt I was a little bummed when I thought about having to find a new one since we moved. But to my great great great surprise I found one that actually topped those two. We went to Petlzer Farms only about 15 mins from our house smack dab in the the middle of wine country. We went towards the end of the day so the weather was so cool and crisp just how you imagine Fall to be. The sky was orange from the sun setting and the whole farm is surrounded by gorgeous vineyards and structures for wine tasting. To top off the beautiful scenery they strung old fashion lights and a giant pumpkin on top of the hill like a cherry on top of a Sunday. Oh and did I mention the corn maze? Yup a picture perfect corn maze. Really this pumpkin patch was something out of a magazine. I am pretty sure I will need to take another trip there before Halloween. Especially since I arrived at the farm and realized my battery to my camera was almost dead, arrgggghh!! I think I only got about 20 pictures, which is nothing compared to my 100, hahaha. So yes a second trip is a must for us.
