Ender @ Vala's October 2010

One of those "only on Omaha" things that we will surely miss when we move is Vala's Pumpkin patch. It is like this big Pumpkin Patch with shows and trains, and all kinds of fun activities for families. And of course it is a favorite place for school field trips! Last year Ender had Miss Jenkins for 1st grade and I went and chaperoned his class field trip to Valas. Here are a few pictures of Ender and his buddies at the Patch!

Ender and a buddy on the hayrack ride to pick their pumpkins.

 Pumpkins picked!

 Kindle in the fairy tale area! She is Cinderella!

 The crazy dragon show-he smashes a pumpkin as it falls to the ground from his mouth...BTW Ender is the kid in the red shirt and jean shorts in case you could not recognize him from the back!

 On the train.

Ender is one of the 4 boys in the second row that is looking away (on the far end) and that is his teacher Miss Jenkins in the back.

Oh Valas...what a unique place you are! I fear nothing Scottsdale can offer will quite live up...
