Pumpkin Patch 2012

Sometimes it's nice that Tim works weekends so that our family trip to the pumpkin patch can be on a Monday when there is no one there!  We have been taking Gracie to U-Pick Pumpkins (aka Gum Ranch) which is where I went in (I think?) kindergarten.  It is 110 acres in Fair Oaks owned by Mr.Gum who is 93 and his wife is 91.  Up until this year he still drove the hay truck.  They have rope swings, a little hay maze, and lots and lots of pumpkins.  It is an old fashioned type of pumpkin patch which happens to be five minutes from home, so we will visit several times in the next couple of weeks.  We had a nice visit and can't wait to go back.
