Pumpkin Patch

On Thursday night we wanted to take Caden over to the Pumpkin Patch. They did not have the one that we usually go to every year but we found one by our old apartment that looked fun. On the way over there we saw one that looked similar so we decided to go there instead. Mistake.

It was like a ghost town...something you'd see in a cheesy "Goosebumps" children's movie. There were like 2 other people there, it just gave me the creeps. So we took a picture and told Caden we'd take him to another one on Saturday.

Yesterday (Friday) Steven realized that he had to work a tournament all day so we wouldn't be able to go but we decided it was best to not keep pushing it back and I took Caden instead. First we went over to the mall to eat and then we met up with Nana and Joe at the Pumpkin Patch across the street. SO.MUCH.BETTER.

We did a walk through to see what Caden could and wanted to ride on and then we went over and bought our tickets. We started first with the petting zoo. Oh joy? Mommy of course wasn't thrilled because there were 3 ducks and a few chickens...and seriously...why? Have you ever met a chicken that wanted to be pet? Fed maybe, but not pet. Same with the ducks. I sucked it up though and was brave for Caden (though I was watching my back for those damn birds!)

The petting "zoo" was followed by a pony ride, a swing ride, two turns down the big pumpkin slide, a duck game and then he rode on a firetruck...type thing. Took a few pictures and headed home. The pictures can be found on the family picture page. The link is to the right. Enjoy!
