Pumpkin Patching

Happy Halloween! Today marks the 12th anniversary of this here ol' blog! Crazy!

So I probably bitch about this every year but damn pumpkin patches are getting ridiculous. The big one near us now costs us $40 just to get in! Once the prices and the crowds got to big we searched for a new place. Something that was just the essence of what a pumpkin patch should be. Pumpkins, some hay, a maze of some sort, a few farm animals and lots of Instagram worthy backdrops.

We found this last year at the Greenspot Pumpkin Patch. It was free and meet all the requirements...

Farm animals...

 

Instagram worthy backdrops...

 A old beat-up truck always makes for a good Insta...

Argh my beautiful girl.... 

My teeny tiny Amor! 

A hay maze! Two for one!

And of course pumpkins...

As we walked around in the extreme heat (WTH October!)  Joey and I were talking about how the number of years left of family outings like pumpkin patches are shrinking. The girls are growing up so fast. I remember trips to pumpkin patches and Christmas tree farms with my family. My parents took us every year. And then one year my parents didn't have kids to take to a pumpkin patch anymore.

Joey and I are really enjoying this era with the kids, the kid/pre-teen years.
