PUMPKIN PATCH!





We have made it a tradition to go to the pumpkin patch each year. We have the cutest little farm just a few miles a way from us called "Mother Nature's Farm." Every year they have a hay ride, pumpkin decorating, a maze, a bounce house and cute little farm animals, including baby chicks, which Lorelei loves. It was fun little outing with the kids. We went with Melissa, Scotty and Britton. McCrea is enjoying his first Pumpkin Patch experience. Lorelei was devastated when her pumpkin fell out of the stroller and we couldn't find it anywhere. She cried for an hour. She was very disturbed that her pumpkin was all alone or worse that someone else had stolen her pumpkin. Although we went back to get another pumpkin, she was not satisfied and still talks about her missing pumpkin today. It is so funny, all the drama that comes from a disappearing pumpkin. In some ways I'm thankful for a little boy and hoping that he will even out his sister's personality. Poor little Lorelei and her missing pumpkin. Next year we'll keep better track of it.

Sounds and looks like a fun pumpkin patch. My boys also love going to the pumpkin patch. It's so much funner than just buying a pumpkin at a store.
