A lot of time our family day is an adventure; either we get lost, car breaks down, or we take turns having meltdowns. I'm not sure if it is the fact that I was raised on the belief of familial like the Brady Bunch happened in real life, but whatever the reason-I always value and have fun with my family.
Today we went to the Kula Pumpkin patch, (i'm sure it has a real name, but this is what I'm calling it).
In order to get out of the house in one piece, Jewel and I decided to bring her doll Kanani (though dad drew the line when we asked to bring Kanani's dog...) and when Raven suggested we bring therapy dog grace, I told her no. Haha, we take turns being the chief or the indians.
Anyway, the ride up to the patch was very long and windy, and sort of irratable. Half of the family likes the music very loud and the other half is in the minority and so their vote sometimes doesn't count.
We opted out of bringing Jewel's chair because as mom mentioned in the previous post-it really doesn't fit her anymore. It is big and clunky and her head cocks back to the side or ceiling sometimes, since the chair is not at a 90degree angle. We have asked the insurance for a new chair six months ago, but nothing has come of it. Keep praying for a new wheelchair with Jewel. I have the perfect one picked out, it is called a "kid rock" chair by quantam rehab and it is just amazing.
It was really fun when we got to the patch-even though it was a million degrees-who heard of Kula being hot and sweaty?!
Here are some photos, if you plan to go-the patch is located right across from Rice park, and it closes at 4, so come early. They have the best teri burgers so definitely bring money for a pumpkin (around 5-10 dollars depending on size) and 3$ for a burger.
