A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

After visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific on Thursday, we drove back on Friday.  Before we started, we decided, or I should say, Maureen decided that we were going to go to the pumpkin patch in Culver City.  She seemed to like it last year.  I was not impressed and was a little put off by the carny types running the rides.  Anywho, we headed to the pumpkin patch and unfortunately, there was a school field trip there.  It wouldn't have been so bad, but there was this annoying little Asian boy, Felix, who was tossing hay all over the place and being a pest.  Maureen thought he may have been special needs, but I think he was just annoying because some boys are annoying like that.  Plus, I saw his mother picking things out of his hair.  I fear it may have been lice.  I hope not, but it could be worse.

There were no unsavory carny types this day, but I did buy a bunch of tokens that we didn't wind up using since no one seemed to be taking tokens.  So, I'll leave it up to Maureen to take the boys back.

Mr. Bones' Pumpkin Patch

We took John to the pumpkin patch today. It was hella hot. It wasn't quite Africa hot, but it sure was hot enough to limit our visit to about 20-minutes. John had his fill of stomping about the grounds and looking at the children. Plus, there were these really annoying Middle Eastern people that kept on moving into all the areas that we were visiting. Honestly, some manners would be appreciated in a public place. Your friends and relatives may own all the oil in the Middle East; however, that doesn't give you an excuse not to be polite.

Maureen says that John seemed to enjoy himself. We picked up a few pumpkins for John and Nicholas. Yes, even the baby that isn't here gets a little pumpkin. It was free with our adult paid admission. Next year, we'll be sure to go when it isn't so hella hot. John will be running around and Nicholas will be overwhelmed. It'll be resplendent.
