Tanaka Farms

We had a trip to Tanaka Farms in Irvine today with Makayla's playgroup. They have an awesome pumpkin patch.....field of pumpkins! We started the morning off pretty early by meeting there at 9am. It was a really, really windy day. The Santa Ana's were in town! After everyone showed up we all gathered and headed to the wagon ride that took us to the petting zoo. There we all got to feed the animals. Mostly goats...they were pretty aggressive when we had food but once the food was gone they were fine and Makayla finally got down to go pet them. After everyone washed their hands we headed back on the wagon ride though the farm. We saw pumpkins, pumpkins, sunflowers, veggies, fruits and all sorts of farm stuff! It was a nice ride! Then we ended by the corn field maze. We all went through that successfully and then headed to pick our veggies! Once we finished picking our veggies it was time to pick out our pumpkins and then everyone headed home since it was so windy. Thanks Amy for putting this all together for us! We all had lots of fun!

Makayla is brave and petting the nice goat....as long as she didn't have food they didn't jump up and she was fine.

Makayla sitting like a big girl and holding on tight on our wagon ride around Tanaka Farms.

Here are some of her girlfriends from her playgroup...from left to right,
Annbelle, Makayla, Carter & Zoe. I think they're trying to come up with a plan to finish this crazy maze!

The cute girls holding hands through the maze, there's Carter, Makayla and Annabelle again. Too cute!

Yay! We finally finsihed and found the center flag pole of the maze! All the girls and their Mommy's!


Makayla picking her veggies. She got to pick 4 each of radishes, carrots, onions & green beans. She did a great job and really dug and pulled!

The field of pumpkins! She's carefully picking out the perfect pumpkin.

I think she found it! She had to be able to pick it up on her own in order to take it home!
What a fun day even though the winds didn't cooperate! We all had a blast! Can't wait to visit Tanaka Farms during strawberry season. Head that's lots of fun too and we love strawberries!
