Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch

This year, we did something a little different from the usual pumpkin patch outing. Tanaka Farms is a great place to visit! It is 30 acres of farm land, growing organic fruits and vegetables. We started our day there with a wagon ride tour. We saw a variety of vegetables, fruit trees, and a huge pumpkin patch complete with scarecrows. We had fun going through the corn maze. Can you imagine what Savannah and Gaby must have been thinking once they realized they were surrounded by their favorite food? From there, we went to pick our own vegetables. It was a great experience for the girls to dig into the dirt and work hard to pull out radishes, carrots, onions. Gaby was very into eating everything she picked. We had just enough time to visit the petting zoo and enjoy playing with the sheep, goats, and pigs. By then, we were all starving! We stuffed ourselves at Dickey's BBQ Pit. I think the kids enjoyed FREE ice cream more than anything else.
