Irvine Park RR Pumpkin Patch Perfection

Best Pumpkin Patch in OC!

It's tradition...

We have some traditions that have been in our family for 3 generations specific to Southern California. 

One of these traditions is visiting a spot where I celebrated my first birthday over 35 years ago, Irvine Park, where the RailRoad is my favorite.

I love that +IrvineParkRailroad . has seasonal events and year round fun for everyone. 

We just spent our first weekend of Fall enjoying some of the best Pumpkin Patch fun that can be locally found!

Face Painting, Hand Paining, Pumpkins everywhere and Cookie decorating

With so much to do for everyone, we never miss this event! 

Our fav's this year:

* Face paint -

That's my girl!

 I loved that the artists were so patient and did a hand paint for my son who is on the spectrum and doesn't do face paint. Thank you!

Not a big fan of facepaint? That's ok - hold out your arm!

* Sweets and Treats - Not only can you Take the Train ride around the park but you can get snacks to treat the kids to some sugar fun while running around. Our favorite is the fresh cotton candy and pop corn - we call it the cotton corn combo and share!

Cotton Candy Face

* Pumpkins! So many and in so many different shapes and sizes - you are sure to find one or 10 that you just have to take home with you!

Pumpkins for Everyone!

* Panning for Gold - this is a must and we always bring home some gems and dust with our smiles of fun.

* the Hay Maze - you can see the full video on my periscope and also on twitter here - but it was fun for us all to race to the finish!

* Taking home our pumpkin. We chose one out together and packed it up - we can not wait to decorate it and then make something with the yummies on the inside - seeds and pie!?

Once again - a not to be missed - bunch of fall fun for all - Irvine Park RR you are awesome and thank you!

See you soon - we will visit again before October 31st!

We Officially Kicked Off Fall with Knott's Spooky Farm!

Knott's Spooky Farm was awesome!

We had such a blast at Spooky Farm this weekend. I totally understand why my parents would tell me that even a few hours with us together somewhere was with it to them.

We had soccer in the morning early, so we rushed over to Knott's right after. With costumes on my babies were ready for their first Spooky Farm ever!

Snoopy Selfie - a MUST DO!

So much to do and see. We entered the park with a treat bag in hand and decided to check out what was on our Spooky Farm Fun Map!

With a Creepy Crawler Cabin and Spooky Hollow Maze my kids were in the Halloween Spirit along with the Knott's staffs creepiest and ghouls! They were so festive but sweet to all of the kids, so that spooky met fun in the most perfect way.

Trick or treat stops for candy, who doesn't love that?! A monster masquerade ball where you could event make a mask!! We love our crafty side.

The whole Peanuts Gang was out to greet us!

So much fun, let's not forget about the rides! My babies loved it so much we even had a few first times! My 3.5yo rode Sidewinder and called it the fast spin train, he loved it so much we rode it 4 times. The Log Ride is tradition, since I was a kid, so to see his face as he went down first was priceless to me. 

The costume contest and dance party in Camp Spooky were super cute and fun for all. We had so much love for the sweet little kids so proud to show off their costumes!

It's always more fun with friends! #BloggerKids

The Kids Top Favs:
* You can Trick Or Treat and Eat the Candy - Yeah well what can ya do!
* You can ride rides too not just do Halloween stuff
* You can go through a Maze like the big kids are doing for Scary Farm but much more tame. 
* You can see some of the Scary Farm decorations and get excited for when you are over 13 - yes that was said by my 8yo!
* Seeing all the Peanuts Gang in their Fall Festive outfits is so cute.
* My family is together and my brother tried new things - My 8yo

Thanks Knott's Berry Farm, we're 3 generations strong visiting now!

Did I mention that most of the regular shows are still going on and the park doesn't close until 5:30. So much time for fall fun!

Head out to these Family Fun Weekends in October and you too can enjoy all this and more for what I think is a super low price for the fun.

Knott's Scary Farm Must Do's and a Don't!

I was scared and beyond privileged to attend the media night of Knott's Scary Farm.

Media Passes and Skeleton Key Ready - I almost turned back... almost!

 It's been a few years with the kids and lack of sitters to attend but this year I was determined to go and face some old fears that stay with, no matter how old one gets.

PC Knott's

 Not only did I get to attend, I was able to scream my head off with some amazing ladies while eating some amazing food and really just reliving my youth in a way that was Halloween perfect. 

Some of the pre scare fun - bloggers

Amazing Eats, sweets and treats - thank you Knott's!

Thank You Knott's Scary Farm, you by far had me feeling nostalgic and left me craving more!

I have to share some of my favs and do not miss scares..

Knotts scary farm must do's!
