Down at the Farm

Today we went to Underwood Farms to feed the animals, drive some tractors, check out a corn maze, ride a train and of course, get a pumpkin for Halloween. It was not exactly a crisp fall day -- 91 degrees with a very warm Santa Ana wind (note the word wind, not breeze).

As always, the kids didn't care too much about the weather. They seemed to have a great time.



Looking for the perfect pumpkin...





We told them to close their eyes when the wind picked up ...


The corn maze was a dousey. We entered with gusto. The kids were excited, the parents optimistic. Let's just say there were a lot of dead ends and I think we found pretty much all of them. In the end, we didn't make it. We had to back-track to the entrance. The kids did great, walking the whole way (thank goodness). They had to be tired. It was hot, there was no breeze in the maze and oh yeah, we did this right before lunch which could have severely backfired on us. Sometimes you get lucky...

















What better way to finish off the day than with a train ride.
