Ethan's Trip to the Peltzer Pumpkin Farm!

Saturday evening, Jon & I took Ethan to Peltzer's Pumpkin Farm in Temecula. It was a truly beautiful place. We were surrounded by wineries and it felt like we were in the country.

Ethan loved running around the pumpkin patch trying to pick out just the right pumpkin. One of his favorites at the patch was when Daddy started a hay fight and another toddler and Dad joined along in the fight. I sat back and watched the excitement on all the children (I'm including the Dads in this description) while all I was thinking was, the eyes watch out for the eyes!

With the help of Daddy, Ethan picked out a huge pumpkin for us to take home. Ethan also got to see many animals including ponies, and he also got to see a pig race. We should take this kid to Vegas because he said that the red piggy was going to win (red being his favorite color), and guess what? The red piggy won! Ethan was very excited! We also had an adventurous trip through a Corn Field Maze. Our navigator, Ethan, did a great job leading us through the maze. He only made about 2 wrong turns before we were able to get through.

Before we left the farm, Ethan had to go on the train. Ethan loves trains! I think most little boys do, so Jon took Ethan on the train ride around part of the farm. Ethan was beaming from ear to ear.

We had a wonderful time at the pumpkin farm. Ethan did not want to leave 'Old MacDonald's Farm' as he called it, but it was getting dark. We are going to have to go back here next year and hopefully make it a tradition. It was a wonderful pumpkin patch farm!

That looks like tons of fun. I really should take the kids to a pumpkin patch even though we already bought a pumpkin from the grocery store (am I boring or what)? It looks like you guys had tons of fun. How far was the patch from your house?
