We ended up at the pumpkin patch this past weekend with the Medford family and as usual, had a great time. It was a beautiful day as we loaded all 6 kids and 4 adults plus all of our crap necessities into their motorhome for the hour trip and headed out around 11:00ish. The motorhome was a brilliant idea on their part because it allowed the adults to converse and the kids to play/watch movies all the while in their safety restraints. We got to the pumpkin patch just in time to watch a massive pumpkin being hoisted up by a crane and dropped into a large blow up pool. We then purchased wrist bands because this pumpkin patch was that big and had that many activites for the kids to do. A good friend had told me it was the "state fair of pumpkin patches" and she wasn't kidding around. There was food, bounce houses, forts, giant swings, play area with industrial sized tricycles, zip lines, petting zoo, bumblebee trains and more that we didn't get to. Kim and I ventured into one of the bounce house mazes with the kids and we determined we are definitely not as agile as we once were. We finally got out of there around 6:30ish, pumpkins in hand. We then had videos and fresh donuts on the way to dinner (after the greatness of the day, why not?!) to round our day out. We were home with kids in bed by 8:30 and Grant & I worn out. Now every time the kids see the pumpkins, they ask to go to the pumpkin patch ;)
