Second Patch in the central valley

Our second patch was at Dell' Ossos Farms. It was fun and we are looking forward to going back this winter to check out the winter wonderland.

This is the future site of the snow hill.

First Patch in Turlock

The girls and I left Josh home and hit Grandma Patties this weekend. We even spent the night. While in Turlock we went to a couple fun pumpkin patches and Bass Pro (I love that store).

This is the first stop we made, a place called "Fruit Barn". You will see in this photo of the building a bride and a groom. The wedding was just getting ready to start when we were leaving. Ava thought this one was a chair

Our playgroup met this past Friday at Casa de Fruta. We rode the train, carousel, feed the fish, ran the maze and played in their pumpkin patch for over two hours.
