Pumpkin Patch

We got a Groupon for a pumpkin patch this year.  I thought it would be a fun family outing.  Although we did enjoy it... it was soooo not what it said it was.  We were very very disappointed at the state of the pumpkin patch and the lack of... anything else.  BUT the kids did have fun and we made the most of it.

We got to take a horse drawn hay ride out to the patch.  The kids really enjoyed it!





The best part was the hay maze.  It was easy enough for the kids to run through by themselves and we could see them the whole time too because it wasn't too tall.  Brenna and Mason loved this!  And I followed Owen around and he was on cloud 9 too!










The pumpkins were already picked!  I was under the impression we would get to pick ours from a patch of pumpkins.. I was wrong.  They wanted $1 for a tiny pumpkin, $5 for a pretty small one, and for the big (same size as Target's $3 carving pumpkins) they wanted $50!!  Can you believe it!?  I couldn't!  Needless to say, we did not purchase any pumpkins.. but we did stop at Target later that day and get some.







There was no petting zoo, and the dinky pony ride was $5 a kid for a 2 minute ride, so instead we let the kids run around and explore the little western town that was around the pumpkin patch.







We had fun!  But I will not be going back there... ever!  We will find a better pumpkin patch next year!
