Last year was our first year visiting Vala's Pumpkin Patch and I must say, we thought it was practically Disneyland and wished we hadn't waited so many years to go. I was particularly excited to go this year because I wasn't able to jump on the "jumping pillow" or go on the peddle cars last year since I had just had my c-section. But it was a blast (we went yesterday). I told Adam that the jumping pillow is better than any trampoline. I totally want one for the backyard! It was fun to be a kid for the afternoon. I heard some of the other moms saying, "I could never go on this thing unless no one was around!" and I wanted to tell them they were just being dumb because it's the best thing ever! Spencer loved finding all the tiny pumpkins and Justin had fun running around doing Halloweeny stuff. We enjoyed kettlecorn and homemade fudge (I got the yummy heathbar kind, while Adam--the pureist--went with plain. YUM!). Justin has been out of school since Wednesday and Adam took Wednesday through Friday off too. And he's home for the weekend, yay! We enjoyed our day at Vala's while having everyone home and are looking forward to more family time this weekend. Fun times!

Spencer LOVED the baby pumpkins in the pumpkin patch (we went home with this one!):
This rocking chair was awesome, and the sign summed up our trip, "Vala's Rocks!"

What a fun farm!!! Isn't is SO nice to not be pregnant and be able to do fun things while we are young? I think that jumping thing would have been really fun! I can't believe how much Justin looked like Jonathan (your brother) in one of the pictures. They are both getting so big-especially Spencer! Cute family pictures!!
P.S. Hope you had a wonderful time with your hubby getting some time off work!!!! ;-)
How fun! And you got so many cute pictures. My favorite is the one of you inbetween your two boys. Absolutely adorable! :)
Ok, we SO don't have a place like that in Fresno. It looks like you guys had so much fun!! I love all of your pictures!
