the boys and i hitched a ride out to underwood family farm yesterday.
we spent the morning out there with 4 other moms and their kids.
it was fun.
the farm is open all year round, but at halloween they have a big pumpkin festival.
and that is why we went.
the farm has a billion things to do.
i feel like we only got to see a fraction of it, so i think we need to go back again, one day.
you could feed animals, get pulled behind a tractor, ride ponies, make scarecrows, paint pumpkins, pick fruits/veggies, go on rides, do the corn maze, and so on.
it was basically all things fall & halloween.
chet's and my favorite part was picking raspberries.
and i'm assuming, if holden could talk, he would say it was his favorite part too.
holden ate a lot of raspberries while we were there!
he preferred to eat any raspberries he found, rather then collect them in our bucket!
little piggy.
it reminded me of when we lived at matt's parent's house 2 summers ago, and chet loved devouring the raspberries in larry's garden.
the only bad part about the raspberry patch was the spider webs.
because where there are spider webs, you know there are spiders.
and i don't like spiders. not one bit.
i have had spiders on the brain lately, thanks to my in-laws.
apparently, some of them heard on the news that it is tarantula mating season here in LA.
WHAT?!
that is just about the most horrifying thing i have ever heard.
i instantly wanted to do a google about 'tarantulas in LA'.
but then i remembered that, as soon as i typed the word 'tarantula' into the search bar, a giant, nasty picture of a tarantula would pop up on my screen.
and that would give my brain all sorts of ideas for nightmares.
so i just couldn't do a google.
instead, i asked all the girls that i met up with at the farm if they had ever seen a tarantula.
and they all said NEVER.
phew!
let's hope i have the same luck as them!
