Pumpkin Patch

Okay, MA, here is the long awaited post:

Last Friday we took the TN cousins to a pumpkin patch at Hicklen Farms--a one hundred year old farm. Spencer's favorite part was when the boys rode in a Gator with me and Mary Alice across the farm to pick out mums. He has loved these John Deere wagons since he was tiny and always loves riding in them. We also choose corn stalks and pumpkins at the barn. Aidyn enjoyed the cat and dog. And Jack loved running through the hay maze. We were the only customers with children so it was a great time to visit the pumpkin patch. The farmers had fun activities for the kids, including coloring their own mini-pumpkins. Spencer also liked running through the pumpkin patch and seeing all of the enormous pumpkins still on the vines. The farmers were a fun, elderly couple and they clearly loved having the kids there and spent the entire visit making sure the kids had fun. We will be making this an annual autumn trip.
