Patterson Farms Pumpkin Patch

We headed back to Patterson Farms this year to pick our pumpkin. We actually went with one of my mom's groups from church. Jenna, Laura, and I were in charge of planning this family fun day at the pumpkin patch. We had a great turnout, and the weather was just perfect! We even had to pull out our sweaters for the first time this fall.

The farm had so much more for kids this year. They had a mini maze, tomato lounching, duck races, horsey swings, the corn pit (which was definitely Ansley's favorite this year), a petting zoo, and the hay- slides. And ofcourse the hayride we took to pick out our pumpkin. We ended the day with a group picnic. All in all, I think everyone had a great time!

I had a difficult time getting pictures of Ansley this year. She has changed so much since last year when we were at the pumpkin patch (she was not walking yet).... I should have taken my other lens but I didn't think I would need it. Plus, it is nearly impossible for her to look at me when I pull the camera out. It is like she knows I want a picture of her looking, and to despite me, she much rather look at someone else. Anyways, here are some pics from our day!

Here is Ansley last year at the pumpkin patch

And the this year...feeding the goats

tired of pictures

I found my pumpkin!

Ansley LOVED the corn-pit! (this picture didn't come out very good)

Glad you guys had a great time today at the pumpkin patch. I can't believe you had to wear sweaters...it got cool here but only down in the high 50's. Not sure what a corn pit is but it looks like Ansley had fun. Love the pics!

Don't you hate that they won't cooperate more, especially when you are in a great setting! Good pics anyway. What a neat place.
