Finally, we came back to Oma's Pumpkin Patch a week later after we had kept our promise for the boys to visit! It was the first time we visited after we last visited this place when Ryan was five months old and Dylan was eighteen months old.
We can say that we would give this place a five star. It indeed has improved incredibly since we last saw this place. This place also provided more than just looking around for the pumpkins and going on a Hayride!This place includes: playground equipment with swings, even has playground equipments for toddlers, Sand Pile with toys trucks and tractors for the kids, new covered hay rides around the farm, Hay Bale Maze, Petting Bottle Bowling, Petting Zoo, picnic tables, and Cottonseed Mountain.
The first thing Dylan and Ryan went up to Cottonseed Mountain while I was waiting to meet Ryan's former pre-school teacher at the entrance. It was a perfect way to go up the CottonSeed (made out of sheep wool ) Mountain before we take their first snow experience in Julian, California. The cottonseed was really soft, yet a lot better than just using the sand or grass, or even sliding down on a mudslide!After they finished their experience going on Cotton Seed Mountain, they dared to try out for Hay Bale Maze. I found they were pretty amazing to find their
way out without our assistance. It was like playing hide-n-seek for them. The joy was seeing them giggling whenever we looked them over their heads!Next, they visited the Petting Zoo. In a small pen, Oma's Pumpkin Patch had goats, calves, and lambs. As soon as they
walked in a pen and pet the animals, Ryan ran up to us (his former teacher, Mrs. Morales and me), "The Cow says, "moo!" Isn't that cute? They really enjoyed touching the pets.
The last activity was the best part of our visit! Do you know what was it? Well believe it or not, we witnessed the birth of a calf while riding on a Hay Ride ! That's right you are reading it correctly, that was a blessing to see the entire moment when the driver had to stop and help the other farmer delivering the calf!
Once our ride was over, there was a very long line waiting for the Hayride ! We were indeed fortunately to go on at the right time and at the right place. After witnessing this awesome experience, we decided to pick out the free Jack Pumpkin. Dylan and Ryan chose their own pumpkin. Not only to planning on decorating the pumpkin, we also
purchased the yummy dessert: pumpkin bread!
Without a doubt, we would like to revisit the same place. If you are in town, you are more than welcome to join the fun with us.

What fun! I love seeing the before and now pictures. It is hard to believe they got so big so fast.
It looks like you guys had a ton of fun. We go to our pumpkin patch next Wednesday. We have too much stuff going on for the weekends.
I went there on the 18th!! it was very fun. Kaylynn loved the mountian of cotten seed also. Glad to see you got to have some fun before being cooped up in the house during the fires.
