Pumpkin Patch

















Today we ventured out for a family trip to the pumpkin patch. This is a tradition that my family always did together, so this was our first time going just the Smith’s.

We drove about an hour to a place called Patterson Farms. It is a family owned and operated farm that began in 1919 and has been handed down from generation to generation. It was huge!


















There was a hay ride that took you all over the farm. They had a petting zoo with goats, pigs, chickens, peacocks, ponies, rabbits and sheep. There was a station where you could make your own scarecrow, paint a pumpkin and ride the ponies.

















There were also several different kids play areas, including one that looked like Noah’s ark.

We had so much fun and the weather was perfect – not too cold, not too hot. We got there late in the morning, ate lunch there and then headed back home for a nap! Lauren had a lot of fun and we got some pretty cute pictures, too.
