Bates Nut Farm

We celebrated my brother's 36th birthday this weekend.  Happy birthday Craig!  We had a great weekend with the Arings and our boys love to hang out with their cousin Wesley.  We made our annual trip to Bates Nut Farm's Pumpkin Patch in Valley Center.  My brother and his family and my mom met us there.  I was disappointed because they didn't have the jolly jumps, petting zoo, the rock climbing wall or the giant tower of straw bales to climb on.  Instead this weekend they had a hot rod show and the "Hooter Girls".  The boys loved the cool old cars but I was really looking forward to climbing that walk wall this year ;-)  Some how I lost my ankles at Bates Nut Farm and my feet swelled up like pumpkins.  Have you ever seen anyone get stretch marks on their feet?  Is that even possible?  I think I can feel my skin ripping.  Enough of my complaining!  We ended up with some very reasonable sized pumpkins this year and skipped the 92 pound ones this time.  The boys had a blast and want to know when we are going back.

I am not sure what all the boys are yelling at.
