‘So much depends / upon / a red wheel / barrow’

(More pictures here.)
I was supposed to meet a good friend from Pasadena at the Wild Animal Park, but child sickness on her end meant we’re going to have to reschedule. Without much of a plan for the day, I started checking out other options and came across Bates Nut Farm that has a huge pumpkin patch in North San Diego County.
Bryce, Ezra and I had a great time exploring the pumpkin patch and taking loads of pictures. Ezra was especially proud of his newly acquired walking skills and liked to play the drums on all the huge pumpkins. We came home with a 76-pound pumpkin to adorn our doorstep. It should last about 3 months as we don’t plan to carve it.
