So this past weekend we finally ventured to the Pumpkin Patch. The weather was perfect, sunny and warm, no rain in sight. Unfortunately it was the week before Halloween, so everyone was there and the pumpkins were well picked over. Our timing was a little off too. Lily has not been sleeping well at night, so therefore neither have mommy or daddy. We slept later than we should have making us arrive at the pumpkin patch later than planned and too close to lunch. There were a ton of people there and we had to wait for the hay ride to the patch. As we arrived at the big pumpkins Lily was very excited. Grace on the other hand took one step off of the trailer, pointed to her pumpkin and announced "I want this one, let's go!" Mommy decided that no it was not time to go and we were going to look around some. 10 minutes later we were on the trailer to purchase our pumpkin. We waited in line to pay, bought a fresh from the fryer fried pie and got Grace a hot dog. We took a quick peek at the farm animals and then we were on our way home.
We didn't get to ride the ponies, get our faces painted, play on the playground or get our pictures taken with the huge pumpkin or take very many pictures of anything. I am already planning next year for much earlier in the month and in the day. We will be there when they open and hopefully have better luck.
Oh well, we got what we went for and a little more.
