Pumpkin Patch Fun

On Sunday we met up with our college friends Jun and Amy with their two daughters at a local farm. Their daughters are Micah and Joel's age, so it is very fun. The oldest, O, is in a Japanese immersion kindergarten, so it was fun to compare notes! =) Micah and O get along famously. We have pictures from when they were 2 years old, holding hands. Unfortunately, when we got to the pumpkin patch we realized there were no batteries in the camera. Jun took lots of photos, so we'll have to wait for those.

We've been to this particular farm for several years now. They have a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch, a hay maze upstairs in the barn and a pumpkin trebuchet. What's a trebuchet you might ask? Glad you did. Kind of like a catapult. The farmer loves to give a physics lesson before setting it off. The pumpkin splatters into several pieces then the kids run over to pick up the pieces and feed them to the pigs.

We went to college with Jun and Amy at Biola (which is in LA). Now Aaron and Jun work together. And not just at the same company, because it's huge, but actually work together! Such a small world!
