Hunter Farms Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Angelica and I went to a pumpkin patch with my friend and her son. She goes to this one every year and while it is a bit of a drive, it was definitely worth it. Hunter Farms was very beautiful and the kids loved it. They had animals to see including chickens, roosters, goats, llamas, emus, pigs, and even a reindeer. There was a huge hay maze and play area set up in the big barn and at the top of the haystack was a big tunnel slide to go down. Angelica and Eddie could have played on that alone all day! I had decided to leave Emma with my mom even though I knew she would have loved it....she just has some trouble with her arm and it was still only in a splint and I didn't want her to hurt it more. Next year! We took a covered wagon ride out to the pumpkin patch and it was huge....lots of pumpkins to choose from. Angel walked all over the patch trying to decide on which one to get....my friend's rule for her kids is they can bring back whatever they can carry...I like that rule! Angelica actually decided to go with a smaller pumpkin so she could also carry one back for Emma....so sweet!!! They have a produce store there as well with lots of yummy fruits and veggies to buy. We lucked out with the weather too, it was a bit cold and foggy but dry! Then we went to a park on the way home and had a picnic lunch by the water. The kids enjoyed throwing rocks in the water and then we headed home....a fun day was had by all! I was kind of hoping the bumpy wagon ride would break my water, but no such luck!!

Yay for Hunter Farms! Our family has been going here ever since we got married. Rain or shine it's always a fun trip, and I LOVE the drive out there- so pretty!
