Filoli and Pumpkin Patch

We had a Google offer for Filoli that we had to use before it closed for the season, so one Saturday in October we went. It was William's first time and so he really enjoyed the house but since it was the end of the season, the gardens were fairly dead. Not nearly as impressive as when I went in April with all of the tulips- that is really the time to go.

We then tried to go to Ardenwood Farm's Harvest Festival because I went last year and LOVED it and sadly, the website said that they were open until 5 but in reality it was only 4 :-( But at least we were able to go to the pumpkin patch just across the way. 

Jane in particular loved this one pumpkin. She clapped for it
And even kissed it.
So we just had to buy it to her delight (and yes, that is dirt all over her bib- she had way too much fun playing with it and sampling some :-) 
What big ears and hair you have :-)

Jane seems to enjoy so much during the trip. The farm seems to have a great pumpkin crop this year. It is really nice to have a farm visit during this time of the year.
