Pick-A-Peck-A-Pumpkins

We made our way up north to our pumpkin patch, only to find that this will be their last year in operation. Many of the regular activities were closed (zip line, tractor rides, and playground) and even the relatively tiny pumpkin patch left a few of us with furrowed brows. All in all it was a productive trip though, and we all came home with pumpkins and apple cider, and hey, it's just plain nice to be in the sun with friends. Next year I think we'll have to try this place.

  3. Okay this is very odd!
    I have checked out your blog a few different times in the last year - I just finally made the connection, other than seeing your face at Top Pot!

    The pumpkin patch looks beautiful. Great weather for it too! Sad that it's their last year.

    We've been visiting http://www.cravenfarm.com/ the last 4 years... it's a good one and not as expensive as http://www.remlingerfarms.com/ that one had a lot of rides though ...Have you been?
