Amy’s Farm Pumpkin Patch

This year I really wanted to go to a big pumpkin patch so Kenzie could run around and have fun.  But before we could head out to the pumpkin patch, we had a birthday to attend!

My friend’s daughter was turning six and it was a costume party.  Kenzie wore a hand-me-down Snow White dress that was worn by 3 of my 4 nieces.  Loved that it got so much use!

 

After the party, Crystal called and mentioned Amy’s Farm had free pumpkins for the first 50 people.  We decided to head over there to see if we were lucky.  Unfortunately all the free pumpkins were gone but they were so much more cheaper, we decided to stay and buy our pumpkins here.

 

Kenzie really enjoyed picking up the pumpkins and then THROWING them!  Kid.

 

I made Jeff promise that we could go to the big pumpkin patch next year!  We’ll see if we make it there with 2 kiddos in tow!

One more Solano

About a month after we got our passes, we finally convinced Shannon to get one too!  We knew she couldn’t resist missing out on special moments with her nieces.  These are from a couple of visits in October.

      

When my phone uploads pictures to Google Plus, it sometimes adds effects to them.  I like it!

 

One of the benefits of going so early in the morning is that we made the cut off to get fast passes to me Anna and Elsa from Frozen.  The literally run out of passes like 30 mins after the park opens and that’s all the pass out for the entire day. 

 

our little Angel {fan}

One of Jeff’s friends had some extra Angel playoff tickets so we took Kenzie to her first baseball game!  It was on a Friday and we knew that we weren’t going to make it the whole game so we got early to catch what we could.

Because it was a playoff game, they had skydivers at the beginning.  It was pretty cool to watch and entertained Kenzie.

 

 

We stayed to about the 5th inning before we headed to the store for some souvenirs and then home.  She did okay – it was tough for her to be cooped up in a little area but once she was able to run around she had fun!

LA County Fair

The day after Disneyland, we made our annual trip to the LA County Fair.  We normally go on a Saturday during the day but the weather had been so hot (in the 100’s) so we made the decision to go on a Friday evening after work.  My dad was able to join us too.

When we got there, we almost immediately ran into my aunt and tata.  They had come with their family and my nana.  We grabbed some dinner and hung out with them for a bit.

Right by where we ate was the large two story carousal.  Papa paid for all the granddaughters and great niece to go on.  They loved it!

After that we headed over to walk through the different animals and then bought her some fresh milk, she drank the most she’s drank before!

 

After that we split up and Jeff, Shannon, Kenz and my dad headed through the exhibits.  We went through most of them and ended up leaving close to 11pm.  I really enjoyed going in the evening vs the scorching day, but it was a loooong day too. 

A couple of weeks later, my mom came down and we went to the fair again.  This time it was in the middle of the week – Chino Day – so we got in for only $5 each!  It was pretty empty and we went through all the exhibits to stay cool.  We even went through the arts & craft exhibits.

 

 

The short time we were outside, we walked through the circus area and Jeff and Kenzie fed a camel.  She was a little apprehensive but did great.  She obviously takes after Jeff. 

Kenzie’s 1st Trip to Disneyland

Our big surprise for Kenzie for her 1st birthday was to take her to Disneyland.  Unfortunately, since she was so sick, we had to postpone our trip.  Finally in September, we were able to head to Anaheim to introduce her to the Happiest Place on Earth.

Once we were there, we stopped for some pictures to commemorate her first trip.  Unfortunately they didn’t have any “1st Visit” buttons at city hall.  She was a little unsure about everything but overall did okay.

Can you tell what rides we were able to get on?

  

The sun was out and it was H-O-T.  We also went during Kenzie’s regularly scheduled nap time so we knew we were on borrowed time. 

A couple of days later we headed to Disneyland again, it was hot again and I was still in a lot of discomfort from my ER visit the day before.  We didn’t stay long but were able to see some of the Halloween decorations that they started to put up.

 

We’re hoping to go back in October once the decorations are completed!
