Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

This year we visited the pumpkin patch earlier in October than we normally do. It was a beautiful day on Saturday, so after a breakfast of pancakes, we headed over to play at the pumpkin patch and pick out a few pumpkins to carve. The pumpkin patch is only a few miles from our house and is one of the last working farms in the city. They put on a great pumpkin patch too, complete with a corn maze, hay rides to feed the cows (only in the evenings, so we'll have to return to do it), little tractors for the kids to ride around a track, an old truck and tractor to take pictures on, a little hay bale house, a play structure for the kids, popcorn and snacks for sale, and of course, lots of pumpkins!

Sofia loves it and I'm convinced she would spend the entire day there if we let her. We made the rounds, as we normally do, so she could ride the tractors and play in the hay bale house and play structure. Finally we picked out two pumpkins to take home and carve. Sofia also picked out three little pumpkins.
