Granny joined us for the fun and we were all ready for our hayride, petting zoo, pumpkin pickin' and maybe a treat. When we pulled into the place, I think we were all thinking the same thing..."this is it?"
The petting zoo consisted of two piglets fighting over a pumpkin, some old hobbled goats and a dead bird.
Within the petting zoo area was a wood play set, the best I've seen yet! Every time we find a play set it always seems to have openings at the top before you go down the slide. With two small children, it is very hard to comfortably let them play on something that I constantly fear they will fall out of. This play set was all closed once you went up the steps, SMART! They loved it and went down the slide over and over!

Of course he still goes down on his belly
Going for another round
Jack was sliding down so fast he would land with a thud on his belly. Sure enough he would get up, laugh and run off to go for another round! It wasn't until we got home that we learned he was scraping his belly up something good, but it must not have mattered because he had a blast.

After playing we went over to our hayride. It was a full ride with other families and the kids seemed to really enjoy the experience.
The "farmer" drove us into a field and stopped. He then said for those that came to get pumpkins to head on out and we would set off in a few minutes. This is what we saw when he stopped:
Seriously that was the pumpkin patch. So we got off the truck and wandered out to the field to get our very own pumpkins.
Daddy picked out a couple of bigger pumpkins from the loaded truck in the middle of the field
After our great pumpkin adventure we wandered through the store and I bought some blackberry preserves which is mighty tasty. Then it was time to load up and head home. All in all it wasn't a terrible trip, but for the cost and experience, I think we'll find another pumpkin patch next year.
The pretty fall scene with our pumpkins!
