We took the kids out to Santa Clarita to visit Papa and Grandma. Out there we went to a pumpkin patch. With all the high winds it was still a fun morning. Afterwards we headed out for lunch before naptime.

In the later afternoon, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch to see the animal petting zoo and look at the pumpkins. Afterwards we went to our local Simi Valley farmers market for fresh fruit and vegetables. On our way home we stopped at Blue Fin for dinner before heading home and getting the kids to bed. Quite the fun filled evening. We were a little surprised it all work out.
