This weekend I took the kids to the Disney Cars 2 event that took place at Dave’s Pumpkin Patch in Sacramento on October 8, 2011. This was a free event that was put on by State Farm Insurance and the turnout was HUGE. So huge that I didn’t stay as long as I expected, but I had fun while I was there.
When I heard about this event and that there were going to be life-size Disney Cars 2 vehicles that are real actual remote controlled cars, I knew I had to go. I just had to seen them in person. Even if it was going to be packed, I wanted to snap some photos of these cool Disney Cars with my new Nikon D5100 DSLR camera.
My goal was to get some cool photos and maybe grab a pumpkin or two!
I wish I was able to get closer to these cars, but there was a really LONG line and I don’t like lines when I have my kids with me. We decided to do everything that didn’t have a line and that included watching real live pumpkin launching. I didn’t know about the pumpkin launching until I heard a loud noise, looked up and seen a pumpkin flying high in the sky. My kids and I dashed over to the pumpkin launcher and watched a few more pumpkins go flying in the air which they can’t stop talking about.
Take a peek at the cool pumpkin launcher…..
So there isn’t no way I was going to a pumpkin patch with the kids without picking some pumpkins. I let Hannah and Christopher roam the pumpkin patch and pick out a pumpkin that they are going to carve this month. I didn’t have much fun trying to get my son to leave.

Looks like a really cool event. The cars are super cool also. My kids love going to the pumpkin patch.
This looks like so much fun! We saw the cars at WDW a couple of years ago and these look like the same ones. It would be neat to see them again without going all the way to Disney.
How cool is that! I saw the cars at the premiere, but we couldn’t get close.

That looks like so much fun! I wish they’d do something that cool in the pumpkin patches around here.
Oh, my goodness — my nephew would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this. They need to set this up in Oklahoma!
Wow, how cool is that?!? I bet the kiddos just loved that.
Great pictures, btw!
What fun! *stumbled
