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.
