The not so fun pumpkin patch




We (everyone but Geoff) were all so excited to go to the pumpkin patch. There was going to be a hay ride, a corn maze, games and of coarse we were going to pick out the perfect pumpkins to take home! The pumpkin patch ended up being a lot further away then I thought. I am still getting use to this area. By the time we finally arrived at the pumpkin patch we discovered the so called hayride (a small tractor attached to a trailer with no hay) was not working, the corn maze was a joke, there were no games being offered and the pumpkins were anywhere from $10-$30 each. Since we had driven all that way I decided to at least get some cute photos of the kids before we left. Well they were not cooperating. The reasons why... Kaylee had peed her pants and Kaden was complaining that his stomach was hurting. I was determined to have a fun evening and didn't want to go home with out pumpkins. So we decided we would stop for some ice cream and then pick out some reasonably priced pumpkins from the grocery store. As soon as Kaden took one bite of his ice cream he threw up all over me. Needless to say we went home empty handed. This wasn't the evening I was hoping for but we did create a memory we will never forget! :)

That just sounds like one day a mom just really does not need. Hopefully all the other fun things you guys are doing out ways the bad ones from time to time. Lisa

Hahahhaha, that is because it is a Florida Pumpkin Patch. If you were still in Wyoming you would have ridden a real tractor and instead of having a corn maze woudl have had been running through a snow maze.
