Live Oak Canyon Fall Festival

Ahhh, my favorite time of the year. This year we decided to go down the mountain to Live Oak Canyon Adventure Farm and their annual Pumpkin Patch and Fall Festival. We met up with some friends and enjoyed a perfect day in southern California.



The farm is about an hour and a half from the Hi-Desert area in Yucaipa, CA. The Yucaipa Valley was home to the Serrano Indians for hundreds of years. It's a beautiful area nestled in the San Bernadino Mountains.


The kids marveled at the different shapes, textures, and colors of pumpkins.


They offer an enormous petting zoo filled with goats and sheep. Other farm animals were also on display and available to pet.


There is a whole section devoted to birds that included chickens, roosters, peacocks, pheasants, roadrunners, and more.


We spent a good chunk of time at the carnival. They have forty or more rides and attractions, games, and bouncy areas. The biggest draw was a giant corn pit. Yep, corn pit.


Getting buried in corn!
They have lots of areas set up for fall pictures with different landscapes and props.


The last thing we definitely wanted to try was the corn maze. This one is well done with lots of turns and dead ends. We played follow the leader and had a blast exploring the maze. Bonus! It wore the kiddos out running!


While they do have many pumpkins picked and sorted for purchase, you can also walk through the fields and pick your own. 



It was a fantastic day! We all had a blast and will definitely go back for their Christmas light show. Everything was well done, clean and organized. Happy Fall!

First Haircut!

Because we just have to document the firsts of everything that our children do or accomplish. :p
