Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

























On Monday, the kids got out of school early and Danny was home, so we took a trip up to Ashland Berry Farm. This year we decided to try a different pumpkin patch because the one closest to us raised their prices to $12 a person just to get in!







It was a cold afternoon, but the kids didn't notice. They had a great time running through the pumpkin patch and exploring the hay maze. I loved how this farm had the pumpkins on the vine!! I've always found it a little weird taking a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and then seeing them all lined up in neat little rows. After the girls picked out their perfect pumpkin, I stood in line for the homeade donuts while Danny took the kids to play in the hay maze. They LOVED going for a ride on the zip line! Sadie had a little help from her daddy, but had a smile on her face the whole time! After watching them play for a while, we all sat down near the open fire and ate our donuts. We scarfed a dozen in what seemed like 5 minutes!






On our way out, we discovered the "Boo House". It was a little dark maze with scary music and lots of Halloween decorations. It was just scary enough for little ones and worth $1. We actually went through twice and Danny snuck in the back way without us knowing so he could jump & scare the girls. He actually scared another little boy, too! Whoops!

looks like fun. That's our plan, too, to check out different pumpkin patches.
