The Pumpkin Patch

In October, of course, we were just out to get a few pumpkins to carve for Halloween but ended up having one of the most fun evenings this fall.  On a whim, we headed to Hall Family Farm for our pumpkin this year—we’ve been there plenty of times in the spring for strawberries, but never for pumpkins in October—and we were happy to find that it was more than just a pumpkin patch.  It was more like a festival there.  In addition to rows and rows of big, beautiful pumpkins and wagons to carry your haul, they had a corn maze, riding toys, tetherball, a corn bale igloo, water pump duck races, a bonfire, and country music playing to really give it a farm feel.  We stayed an hour or more longer than we had intended because it was such a beautiful fall evening and we were having such a nice time.  This will be a must for next year for sure.
