Pumpkin Patches at Irvine Park Railroad are Great Photo Ops! @IrvineParkRR

Halloween is one of our most favorite time of year! We love pumpkin patches, coordinating costumes, and attending Halloween Parties. It also reminds me that I need to take great pictures for upcoming holiday cards to share with family and friends, or it's more quality time I can capture for a photo book. I love how the fall colors just pop in the background. I'm not always successful, because getting my kids to smile for the camera is just CHALLENGING, but it's worth a shot. =) At one point my 3 year old yelled at me to stop... haha. Here are some highlights I wanted to share along with some pix that I love.

I don't think it's possible to take a bad picture with this.
The funnier the faces, the better! LOL

FUN MAZE! 
My kids love this Maze. They ran through it 5x!

 

Train Ride @ Irvine Park Railroad
My kids love the train rides here. It takes you around the park and through a haunted tunnel. 

Waiting in line for the Train Ride

My friend Jenn took this picture of us with my camera - LOVE!!

The Great Pumpkin Challenge! 

They are giving away this Great Pumpkin if you can guess the weight. Get an entry form located at the Yellow House. Winner will be announced October 6th.

Bike Rentals are Great FUN!

I always wanted to do this. We got our work out in and saw the rest of the beautiful park! (PS stay away from the BIG hills).

More Photo Ops!

At some point we pulled over to rest at one of the playgrounds and I took this photo of him sitting on the park bench.

It was a bit warm outside but there are always lots of shade and plenty of places to stop and get ice cream. This is my son's favorite and he will ask for it by name. I think he thinks Irvine Park Railroad = Snow Cones.

WOW - Lots of sizes to choose from. Carts are available to help you lug them back to your car.
