Bates Nut Farm

What was I thinking, day after birthday party going to the pumpkin patch... I thought I was super mom, we were all so excited to go, however it was hot and crowded... CROWDED. I thought that we went early enough in the month that it was not going to be too crazy, nope it was packed. However we still manage to have fun, it was just a shorter trip. The rule was the kids had to be able to pick up their pumpkin and actually carry it to purchase it. My suggestion if going to Bates Nut Farm, in Valley Center go during the week. When we left around 12 the line to get in was over 2 miles long with cars..
