One of our Halloween traditions is to hit the Pumpkin Patch. We so loved the one we visited last year, we went there again this year. Only this year we wised up. I'll elaborate more on that later. The reason I like this pumpkin patch is because it has a little playground for the kids, a few caged animals to visit, an awesome antique tractor for picture taking and, of course, a hayride to the pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast filling my bag with baby pumkins and gourds. And I had a blast discreetly tossing them out when they weren't looking. We told the kids we were only going to get one pumpkin and they were cool with that, thankfully. When Dominic found it we all jumped back on the hayride to go back and pay for it. The reason we only wanted to get one pumpkin here was 1.) because they rob you blind for them, 2.) because they were hideous looking (lot of rotten and misshapen ones) and 3.) we were headed straight to our neighborhood Wal-Mart to stock up on them at the fantastic roll back price of $3.99. And they were gorgeous pumpkins. As it turned out, I was able to distract the kids while Brian dropped the pumpkin, so we were able to get out of there without having to buy any pumpkins. See all of our beautiful pumpkins on display? I had to do a Spider-Man one for Dominic. I never got around to finishing the black one.
On a side note, did you know that pumpkins were the oldest vegetable in the US? Little pumpkin trivia for ya. Don't say you never learned anything here!
