HALLOWEEN TIME!!!!

This is my favorite time of year.  The air starts turning crisp outside and pumpkin patches are in full swing.  Andy and I love going to pumpkin patches.

Adobe Pumpkin Patch: http://www.adobepumpkinfarm.com/

 On the 3rd we went to one of our favorites Adobe Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma on the corner of Adobe and Washington.  We have been coming to this one since Andy was about 2.  It was on a Wednesday and early in the month so they were not fully set up yet, but still a lot of fun things for the kids to do.  There is a decent size corn maze that the kids kept running in and out of, a bouncy house, cows, goats and chickens.  Nice thing is they didn't charge us for going in and out of the corn maze or playing in the bouncy.  On the weekends there is train rides, hay rides, usually a couple more bouncy's, slide and rock climbing wall.  Plenty of food vendors to wet your palate, bbq, hot dogs, polish dogs, hamburgers, kettle corn, slushies and my favorite is the taco stand (they are the best tacos I have every had).  Not sure if we will make it back to Adobe again this year, there a couple other pumpkin patches I want to go check out this year.

Alicia (A) Park, Rohnert Park, CA

I'm going to be a little lazy this weekend.  Today my son Andy had a play date and we went to A Park in Rohnert Park.  I said I was going to try to visit a park every week and this is a park so I'm going to use it :)

Description off of Rohnert Park's website:
ALICIA PARK (300 Arlen Drive) 5 acres - playground and horseshoe pits. Group picnic area with 10 tables and barbecue and 9 individual picnic tables. Night-lighted youth baseball field and 1 unlighted multi-use softball/soccer field. Adjacent to John Reed School play and soccer fields. Restrooms.

Don't let the last word on the description above fool you there have been cut backs and the restrooms is a porta potty.  Other then that this park is truly a great little park for kids to play at.  They have two swing sets one for older kids and one for babies/toddlers.

There is also a seesaw well I guess the term now would be teeter-totter.  I can see why teeter-totter is the correct term now.  Hearing the word teeter-totter I envision little toddlers rocking slowly back and forth giggling and enjoying the sensations of going up and down.  Where as in my day playing on a seesaw is all fun until you get that one little A-hole that jumps off and your butt slams into the ground with such force you feel it through your whole body up to your teeth!  Okay I'll admit it there were times that I was that little A-hole :)

I should of taken Andy to this park more often when he was younger but I'm not going to kick myself to much over it.  When he was younger he was so shy that if there were other kids at the park he wouldn't go and play.  I will be taking him back again really soon since it is only 3 minutes from our house!

Andy's Review of the Park:

I liked the monkey bars the best.  I liked the swings but they were a little slippery.  I would give the park an A.
