Pumpkin Patch

We have gone to a pumpkin patch almost every year since Isaac was born (we may have missed one year). We have now gone to pumpkin patches in three different states! This year we went with several other homeschooling families and travelled to a farm about an hour away. I was quite impressed with this patch. The farmers had made an elaborate corn maze. It was almost too elaborate -- a couple of the mamas had to be rescued! They also had a playground and an area with various animals for the children to look at. The owners had picked pumpkins and laid them in a grassy area. They usually allow the children to go into the patch to pick them, but they had seen several snakes in the area. They decided not to risk one of the children getting bitten, a decision I appreciated! Our trips to the pumpkin patch are always fun for the children, but it is also a great photo opportunity for the mothers. In fact, sometimes I have to remind myself that we came for fun and not for the pictures! Happy Fall!
