Finally…pumpkins

We didn’t make it back to the pumpkin patch we visited last weekend, instead we decided to head over to a small family orchard/pumpkin patch less than 10 minutes from our house.

Gavin decided to be in a good mood today, and happily ran around for just over an hour. While this place did not have the abundance of activities as last week’s adventure, this place was free and was geared toward toddlers/young kids.

Almost makes me wish we had saved the $9 fee (per person) to get into last week’s patch…the one where we never even made it to the actual pumpkins!

Instead of the typical corn maze, they had set up a small maze built from hay bales.

I found the exit!

And there were more hay bales to climb…

Strange scarecrows that he couldn’t quite figure out at first…

But quickly warmed up to them, and waved hello!

And once we picked out the perfect three pumpkins to carve next weekend…we loaded our three four pumpkins to the check out!
