Today, Saturday, we went to the Hillside orchard once again and for the last time this season. We LOVE it there! When you arrive, there's this GREAT arrangement of pumpkins and cool gourds for a photo op.
This Martins own and run this wonderful, family-friendly, kids-centric, photo-op-abundant farm! They have made it a beautiful place to come and visit- totally free to get in, park and play! They only charge for the produce you carry out! So, they have :The classic Corn teepee. This is in the Kids area.
Pumpkins EVERYWHERE! James is such a ham.
This is Rocky. He's the family dog and is GREAT with kids! We were the ONLY people there today so James played with Rocky (amazingly not getting even the littlest bit scared of him). Actually, when we pulled into the "parking lot" Rocky followed us in and waited for me to get out of the door so he cold be the first to greet me!:) Gave me warm-fuzzies.
This is why we went today- we needed pumpkins! James gravitated towards the little ones (thank you, lord!)- Drue gravitated towards the cookable ones (yum yum!) and I got a PERFECT carving one:)
My pumpkin boy. Indian name: Dances with Pumpkins.
This is the entrance to just one of the three apple orchards. So cool.
Boy on hay bale with pumpkins. Showing off HIS choice.
Isn't this just so homey and quaint? I love it.
This butterfly garden is now barren. BUT in the summer and early fall it is teeming with the Monarchs during their migration to Santa Cruz!

The entrance to the corn maze. It's short, but always fun!
See how GIANT those pumpkins are next to my 3 year old?
This is Mrs Martin. She was so sweet.
We LOVE going to the Hillside Orchard- and we'll be going again at the beginning of next season to pick strawberries!
