Pumpkin Patch

We had a lot of fun at the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. J rode a red wagon into the patch and picked out two - one will have the word 'BOO' carved out and the other will have a face. At the patch in Ramona, a small town just north of San Diego in the local mountains, they also had a petting zoo (mountain goats had their own little playground), a corn maze, a corn cannon and lots of different types of pumpkins and gourds on display. JK tried the corn cannon, which must have been quite fascinating to J since the next day he set up his own one in the backyard using a pen and a couple of sidewalk chalks for support. the other thing we picked up that day was a bale of hay (rather, straw) to use as stuffing material for our scare crow. After we had gotten back home J's friend A came over to help with making the scare crow (as well as tearing apart the bale and spreading the straw all over the backyard).
