Pumpkin Patch Flop

Every year we have an October tradition of driving quite a distance to this really awesome pumpkin patch! We found our weekends quite full this year but we didn't want to skip our tradition so we squeezed in our annual trip. Well, things didn't go as planned. When we arrived the original pumpkin patch was closed. (We later learned there had been a tornado and really bad storm the night before our arrival). We went to the pumpkin patch next door which was one big flop!! Activites/rides cost $ (the other place is totally free), there were ant piles, not many pumpkins and just overall disappointing. However, I did my best to capture some shots of the kids looking like they are enjoying themselves.
The pumpkins were gynormous!!

The first pumpkin D sat on was in the middle of an ant pile! Yikes!! After that we were SUPER careful!
Girls trying to lift the pumpkin.
The only matching shirts we all had. Don't look too closely or you'll see the girls belly buttons!! The shirts were a bit on the small side.

The hay ride was free...truly amazing!


I must say that it was a memorable trip and it'll be talked about each year from here on.

That's a big disappointment! It's good that you made the most out of it anyway!
