We visited Bates Nut Farm this morning in Valley Center, CA (about 45 minutes east of us). They had a spectacular pumpkin patch and all the fun extras for the kids - petting zoo, pony rides, hay rides, corn maze, etc.
It got a little warm seeing as I forgot it's 10 or more degrees warmer in the valley, but we were just there in the morning so it wasn't too bad.I took her to the pony ride station first because I thought this might be a big hit. We watched one group of kids go and then it was our turn. She panicked and wouldn't get on. So, we left the ring and watched a little while longer. After about 3 more groups had gone and she had cheered them on excitedly, I asked her if she was ready for her ride. She told me "Maybe in the morning, Mommy."
So we moved on. We explored the pumpkin patch, went through the store and took a hayride. I was starting to get a little hot and it was approaching lunchtime so we walked by the ponies again with our ticket still in hand and she decided that she was ready to go. And she was! She LOVED it!! I took a video too - now featured at the top of the blog (which is not all that exciting, but it seemed monumental after all the deliberation).
