Pumpkin Patch Extravaganza

The Chesterfield Berry Farm underwent a make-over last year-
now it resembles some sort of autumn/harvest/Halloween village.
The best thing about this sign is the mention of the "Scary Fun Barn:-
Lest you think that the Scary Barn won't be Fun, as well as Scary.
It's both people. So fun it's scary . . . so scary it's fun . . take your pick!
Eating lunch is way more fun when it's freezing outside and you overpaid
for BBQ chicken, beans, a hot dog, some cole slaw, and a couple cans of soda.
This is so cheesy, I just had to take a picture.
It took quite a bit of cajoling to get Parker into the moonbounce.
Suddenly, he thinks he is "too old."
Some of us aren't too old to have fun, though....
Nice shades, Farmer Joe.
This insane pumpkin patch came with a map.
Without it (and a pen) we would still be wandering around in those stalks.

I told you the kid needed braces!!!
Down to business. Time to ride out to the Patch.
Oh look, I actually DID come on this outing.
This is the Ute pumpkin, obviously.
Yay pumpkins!

Fun! I LOVE pumpkin patches, just like I love FALL! The problem here is picking which one to go to, there are so many around here. We may go to one next weekend with all the family in town. Isn't it sad that Parker is growing up and won't do all those childish things anymore???

If Parker thinks he is too old for stuff like that, then next year he can take his parents to the pumpkin patch! They don't think they are too old! haha

Pumpkin patch mazes are tons more fun than the ones on paper. You can't see over the lines. It gives you the feeling of what a lab rat feels like, except they must be smarter because they don't have to use a map and they remember how to get to the end. They are fun!!!
