Today was our annual half moon bay trip to pick up pumpkins. J and I have been doing this for the past 6 years or so. About 3 years ago we found Arata's Pumpkin Farm. This place is just plain silly. It boasts Tractor Hay Rides, Jousting, Trains, Straw mazes, a petting zoo....I could go on and on. The first time we went there was with our friends J and E who live in San Diego. We had a blast. We labored over pumpkins, did the train ride (not really we wouldn't have even fit), pet the animals (again not really, but we admired them) and had an overall great time. Then last year we did the pumpkin patch with my nephews who are just the cutest and always happiest around trains and corn mazes.
We did the tradition again this year with the nephews and had an equally great and odd experience. Great because D and E were so much fun and at one point D was making snow angels in the hay. Odd because I saw a McCain Palin button which was definitely not welcome at the pumpkin patch. Mr. D insisted on pulling the wagon and little E insisted on a balancing act on the pumpkins. Oh yeah, and there is this giant Godzilla made out of rust. I guess metal, but it is so rusty and it's fur looks like it could impale someone. Good times!

Hey! Russ and I went there too on the same day! Russ was captivated by the tractor, whereas I was more into the cute fuzzy animals. Unfortunately we did not have a kid to justify us being there. And I wouldn't cough up the money for the corn maze cuz I'm cheap like that.
Isn't that Godzilla actually a King Kong?
I think I had Godzilla on the mind and I meant Gorilla. Ahh too much soccer.
That's quite possible, and I hate to say it but it looks like the Gorilla is taking a whee on that poor child.
