Field Trippin'

I had fun accompanying Braden on his field trip to Tanaka Farms, which offers 30 acres of organic fruits and vegetables right in the middle of Irvine.






Braden was ready to tackle the corn maze with his friends, Jaxon, Cassius, Nicholas, Bianca and Bradey.

The kids enjoyed the bumpy tractor tour of acres and acres of farmland.
Playing dead or just a statue?

Bianca made Braden find out...apparently this goat was just trying to take a nap amongst all the mayhem.

This sweet kid is as tall as the sweet corn marking.

Bianca, Braden and Makenzie found their way through the maze without a hitch! Smart kids!

What boy is really going to pass up an opportunity to pose with an alien?

We'd probably eat a lot more veggies if we planted our own garden, according to Braden.

Braden was very eager to eat his green beans...even though these were dirty and uncooked.

As long they could carry the pumpkin on the very long trek to the bus, the kids were allowed to choose any pumpkin they wanted.

Braden's selection? One that was much larger and heavier than any others. I didn't help him carry it though!

Braden took one brief break and used his pumpkin as a stool while he, Henry and Jake waited for the bus.

Who needs Halloween candy when there's this much excitement over carrots and radishes?!

This proves a little dirt won't hurt. Braden washed his own veggies and wouldn't let me peel off the remnants from the earth!
