Pumpkin Patch Time!!

It's October; that means time to start visiting the pumpkin patches!  Sabrina loves the pumpkin patches and when I asked her if she wanted to go to one she said yes right away.  She's almost all better from her stomach bug but still pretty lethargic and not her usually peppy self.  Still, I wanted her to get outside and get some fresh air.  I am kind of conflicted about taking Maddie; on one hand I really want photos of her at the pumpkin patch and on the other hand I really don't want her eating hay and dirt and rocks.  So I left Maddie with Grandma and took Sabrina myself.  So off we went to Usegii Farms, a popular pumpkin patch in Morgan Hill with lots to do than just pick pumpkins.  We went on a train ride, a hay ride, around a corn maze (more like a path since there's no way to turn except in the direction they want you go to in) and ended with a pony ride.  Sabrina met up with some of her friends and had a great time.  The trip wore her out and she fell asleep in the car.  But I'm glad we went and can't wait to go again.

Maddie Tries Out MyGym

Sabrina was under the weather for a few days.  She's almost all better, but she had a bit of a stomach bug and a low grade fever.  I didn't want Maddie to catch whatever Sabrina had, so I took her out and about.  One of the days I trialed a MyGym class.  We loved it.  This place is perfect for Maddie right now:  Indoors where she can crawl around and not stick tan bark and rocks in her mouth.  :)  Until Maddie starts walking and stops putting every little thing in her mouth going to outdoor places with her is a pain.  At MyGym they started with circle time which Maddie was not interested in at all, and then the babies could crawl around and play or do swings or the teachers would do some kind of exercise with them.  We both had fun.  Unfortunately the only slots they have for Maddie's age group is not a good time for our schedule.  But hopefully we can find something like this that is a good time for us.
