A Visit To Prusch Farm

Yesterday we went to Prusch Farm in San Jose because they had a Harvest Festival. I've never been there before, so I had to Google the instruction. Google map has always provided for me, so I didn't question it. So when we were driving there, we got LOST, using the direction!! We were lost for 20 minutes!!! Then finally we found it! It was just to the right of the free way exit! No like the wild goose chase that google sent us on! Anyways.... The farm is HUGE!! It sits on 47 acres and is the only public farm in Santa Clara County. They had all kinds activities there: ladybug lady, rare veggies display, petting zoo, pony rides and of course pumpkin patch! There was also this Native American Tribe that danced beautifully for everyone to see. I love all their headdresses. It was really neat for the kids to see also, it was their first time. Samantha was absolutely mesmerized.

To The Pumpkin Patch We Go!

The kids have been anxiously awaiting for the pumpkin patch to open for a few weeks now. Finally, yesterday, October 1st arrives, and it has opened! Rhead, mom and I took the kids there and of course they wanted to go on the jump houses. Whatever happened to just picking out pumpkins?? Every pumpkin patch has a gimmick now because business has been going down. To draw out the kids, they have to have jump houses or other activities. So we let them play, get their energy out. 5 bucks each for 15 minutes, which is not too bad because Sean was red and sweaty by the end of the 15 minutes. He got some GOOD exercise. We still have to go to another pumpkin patch that has trains and barnyard animals, it is one of our favorite pumpkin patches to visit. We probably won't make it to Half Moon Bay this year for the Pumpkin festival, it's always a mad house with traffic there! Can't wait to post some pictures with a brand new camera that I'm getting!!!

Welcoming Fall in San Francisco

We went up to the city yesterday to have lunch at one of our favorite restaurant, Scoma's, at Pier 39. They have the BEST clam chowder in the city, and the best seafood. It's a bit pricey for us, that's why we only go once in a while! Then we walked down to Ghirardelli Square, played in the sand a bit. And of course, Samantha just had to get her bottom half wet! Then we had the most delicious dessert at Ghirardelli, Cookie Bottom Hot Fudge Sundae!! All four of us shared one, but it was just PERFECT!

So After putting a billion calories in out belly, we walked it off at the Golden Gate Bridge. We didn't walk far, Sami was REALLY tired. But it was a nice clear day, we could see all around the bay, it was really beautiful. A perfect fall day!

Art and Wine Festival

We went to the annual Mountain View Art and Wine Festival today and had a blast! They had a new booth there this year that sold cool handmade wands. Sean made huge bubbles, it was really amazing to see! We walked around Castro Street for about an hour, and the kids got to play at the Kid's park. Anna got some great shoots of the kids!Sean did the giant jump slide and jump house while Samantha watched (she was too chicken to do anything!) Then we went to In N Out for lunch! We had a great morning walking around and it was a beautiful day to do it in! Next week, we are going to the Santa Clara Art and Wine Festival! Can't wait!

First Day of Preschool

Today was Samantha's first day of preschool. She was so excited! Of course she didn't want to wear the dress I made her, so I had to use my persuasion skill to get her to wear it. It took 20 minutes to have her convinced that by wearing the dress, she will be the prettiest girl in class. First day of school was only 1 hour (I wished it was longer), so it was pretty much time to pick her up when I got home.

She made a small project and got some play dough from the her teacher, Mrs. Dallas.
Samantha can't wait to go again!

Halloween Haunts!

One of my favorite holidays is coming up, HALLOWEEN!
In honor of that, and Sami going to preschool for the first time, I designed 3 sets for her to go to school or party with. She keeps asking me, "is it Halloween yet?"
