Pumpkin Patch

Visit Bates Nut Farm for GIANT pumpkin
Made our annual trip to pick out pumpkins at Bates Nut Farm in Valley Center. It was Greenlee's second trip up there. Last year we took her right after we got her. She still was a bit shocked by the move. This year she was flying out the car door and made a mad dash for the hot dog stand! The hay bales to sit on where gone so I hung out like a vulture ready to pounce on one of the few picnic tables. After a quick lunch, lots of barking from Diego and wide eyed begging from lil G we headed to the pumpkin fields. The only pupkins in the fields are called Big Macs. They are huge (rotting) pumpkins. We picked out a good carving pumpkin then the dogs were over it. It was sunny and hot. We found some shade, took a few more pictures, grabbed a few small pumpkins and headed out for the day. A pretty good success for Greenlee's second trip to the patch. She refused to wear the pumpkin shirt but Diego was hamming it up. Off to find some dog friendly Halloween fun to add to the bucket list!
