Pumpkin Patch Day

Today we made the short drive to the Applewood Farm for a morning of picking pumpkins and getting lost in a corn maze. After carefully looking at numerous pumpkins, after which my son would usually declare, “just keep looking,” we finally found the perfect Halloween pumpkin.

Following a quick hayride back to the main barn to weigh (a 27 pounder) and pay for our pumpkin, we were ready for the corn maze. I’m usually pretty good with my sense of direction, but keeping up with an energetic two-year old does tend to throw my internal compass for a loop. Even with several dead-ends, missed turns, and backtracking, we eventually found our way out.
