I love taking the girls to the pumpkin patch every year. The problem is that over the years our local patch has become quite popular. So much that on weekends they now charge admission and it is so packed that it's just not fun. To avoid the crowds we take the girls during the week. Usually we are still able to do the usual pumpkin patch-y type things without the crowds.
Over the years the pumpkin patch also has expanded their "rides" section. Ugh. As a way to avoid this and still let the girls have some fun we give them each a Pumpkin Patch Scavenger Hunt. This is a great way for the kids to have some fun. At the end they each get to pick a mini-pumpkin as a prize.
We gave them each a list and a pen and sent them off...
Here they are when found the ugliest pumpkin...
and the weirdest pumpkin.....
.
They found the corn stalks....
The tallest stem was no contest!
They were all weirded out by the gourds...
Last was the search for the perfect pumpkin. They searched and searched each table looking for the right color, shape, and size. They finally came to an agreement. Here is the winner....
I love this game. It is such a fun alternative to the overpriced bouncy houses and much more festive!

This is the best function room in the city. The food they served at LA venue was warm, fresh and tasty, and the panoramic window is a sight to behold on a clear day. Their main hall was similar to a club/lounge – however, it had more of an intimate feel.
