Pumpkin Patch Fun

   According to Facebook and Instagram my family (along with everyone else I know) made a visit (or three) to the pumpkin patch over the weekend. I would have to say that going to the pumpkin patch is one of my all time favorite fall activities. Last year it was cold and Sadie was only 4 months old so it was not a very exciting trip. We had a little more fun this time around.

   There are several pumpkin patches near our house. There are a couple of big time operations, you know, the ones with petting zoos, corn mazes, and pony rides. Those can be fun but I would rather not have to fight my way though crowds of people just to get an over priced pumpkin. So we skip all of that fun and go to a smaller place. We LOVE Fischer Farm's!

   This is the second year we have gone to Fischer's to fill my yearly pumpkin habit. It is a small family run farm that has a great variety of pumpkins, gourds, and apples that don't cost an arm and a leg. Plus it is not over run with people! We love the friendly old farm dogs that run around and greet everyone. Sadie could have cared less about the pumpkins all she wanted to do was follow the dogs around. She wasn't happy until she got to pet all four of them.

   After petting all of the dogs we parted ways, I went to pick out some pumpkins and gourds while the Daddy-man followed Sadie around while she explored the farm. She got tired on a few occasions and had to take a couple rests in the middle of a few skids full of pumpkins! Everything is so much more fun when you have a little to share it with. Here are a some photos of our trip to the pumpkin patch!
