Last Sunday, we made our way to a pumpkin patch of a completely different sort! We met up with the Woltil Family at Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch, which lies on the border of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
The first thing you need to know about this place, for those of you from Tennessee, is that it isn't a patch. No pumpkins are grown in Hollywood. They would have cost us $5,672 each if they were, and we would have had equity in them. They're probably grown in Coalinga and trucked in. Anyway, the pumpkin are sitting in nice little rows and piles for you. You don't think they have fields behind that Beverly Hills sign above, right?
The second thing you need to know about it is that, only in the Los Angeles area will you find a pumpkin patch with an area set aside for the paparazzi.
Mr. Bones is a pretty famous place for star-gazing apparently! Check this out in People! While we were there, one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills families was there.
I don't know if the press realized it or not, but the real stars of Mr. Bones were Rebecca, Lucas, and Adelaide! These kids are just the cutest ones ever!
They also had a petting zoo, and Rebecca and Addie enjoyed getting to feed some little goats. The face painting booth at Mr. Bones was also quite an improvement over the one last pumpkin patch experience. This time, Rebecca got a spider in a web. You know, because she's SPIDERGIRL, re-nem-ber?
Rebecca wanted to be sure everyone would notice that her spider and web were "sparkle-nee," which is befitting for a spidergirl princess!
I was surprised that Rebecca wanted to go down the big bouncy slide thing. She was very excited as we were paying her tickets and bounded inside. She made it about halfway up the stairs...and then she started coming back down!
Luckily, Daddy was willing to accompany her. He's such a good sport. And he even in dressed in orange for the pumpkin outing! (I feel confident this was not intentional).
Unfortunately, this woman was more interested in retrieving her kid than in letting me get the perfect shot of Rebecca coming down the slide. Rebecca's so light that she bounced up and then landed on her face, and that pretty much sealed the deal that there wasn't going to be a repeat performance!
The kids loved playing inside the pumpkin house. Even Lucas got in on this action!
I'm not sure what Julie was laughing so hard at, but it must have been hilarious! I love this pic of Julie beside our girls inside a larger than life pumpkin.
Rebecca's most favorite part of Mr. Bones was the hay maze. She was hesitant at first, but then she didn't want to get out.
She started by showing a little entrepreneurial spirit and attempting to charge admission.
Then they were off!
Addie was a little more cautious about it, but I think Rebecca convinced her it was safe.
When it was time to go, I had to send Ramy in after her, but he's not nearly as fast as she is!
We finally got the kids out of the hay and we were ready to "pick" (i.e., pick out) our pumpkins. Rebecca was really more interested in getting some more "baby punkins." She decided on these two, which she (quite creatively) named Orangey and Whitey.
