The Saddest Excuse for a Pumpkin Patch



We ventured out on Sunday for a little fall cheer to a local pumpkin patch. There are some weird ideas about what constitutes a pumpkin patches in LA. Many of the local pumpkin patches include corn mazes, rides and carny food stalls. This particular pumpkin patch wasn't more than a dirt parking lot with a small area for pumpkins, some bizarrely passive goats and sheep being passed off as petting zoo, out of place rides such as bumper boats, and cheap Thai and Chinese food. J. and I were pretty disappointed. Fortunately Sadie and Jack were completely oblivious and were happy to frolic among the pumpkins. Jack, our strongman-in-training, spent most of the time trying to lift pumpkins that were half his size. Sadie just crawled all over the pumpkins like they were part of a jungle gym.
