The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch that we love to go to in Flower Mound, TX has always been free until this year.  They began charging a nominal $5 per parking.  It is still, in my opinion, well worth the drive!  My husband decided that he could do without the trip this year so being the die hard lover of festivities that I am, I took my crew without my other half.  They were well warned about staying together and behaving etc.

The rule is that no one plays until Mom gets her picture.  Usually cooperation is not a problem!  I actually got there too late for great photo opportunities as the sun was already very bright, but I did at least capture the memory!

After my photo shoot, I (eight months pregnant) waddled around behind them making sure they stayed together as they jumped in the bounce houses, ran through the mazes and bounded through the pumpkins .  I even braved the hay ride with them.  Thankfully it wasn’t too bumpy!

I let them play until they began asking about drinks and food.  Surprisingly, the concession stands were closed and only open on the weekends.  So we loaded up and headed to the closest McDonnalds!  It was a great day at the Pumpkin Patch.  I’m glad I made the effort to take the kids!

    Your kids always look so happy! It’s nice to hear they enjoyed it-it’ll be harder to find such simple trips when they get to be teenagers!

    Some of my best kid’s pictures came from the pumpkin patch!! Sweet photos of yours and it looks like it was a great day! My kids still want to go, even though they are 10 and 13. It’s a tradition.

    Mom’s pictures came out great! Even without kids, the pumpkin patch is a must-do fall ritual. I always get to go with my Kindergarten class. Hopefully it’ll be a family trip in the next year or so. : )

    We went to a pumpkin patch last year, and my daughter got lost (and started crying) in the corn maze.

    That sounds like so much fun! I have a pumpkin patch close by that I’ve been taking my kids to the last few years, and we just love it–kids and pumpkins are pretty much my all-time favorite fall combination! I love your group shot at the beginning! So cute!

    I took my kids to pick pumpkins for the first time this year. It was so much fun! I’m planning on making it a fall tradition.

    By the way, many of your stories mention that your husband doesn’t come along, and I just wanted you to know that you always sound still loving and positive towards Jason. I really admire that!

    I keep meaning to do the pumpkin patch thing some year or other…too late now! Looks like a great photo op, though!
