Pumpkin Patch Visit



Since my Mom was here for the weekend, we decided to take Brianna to a small "pumpkin patch" here in town. Mosher's Greenhouse actually set up a pumpkin patch on their grounds and called it "Kid Daze" -- it was actually a lot of fun!! When we first arrived, Brianna got her face painted... with a pumpkin, of course! Then she got to go pick out a pumpkin for herself and take it back and paint it! There was popcorn, hot chocolate and hot apple cider available while you were taking in the festivities! Brianna used A LOT of paint on her pumpkin, so we left it there to dry and went to another building where they had set up a huge maze made with hay bales!! Brianna like this the most! She went through with me and Grandma the first time, then wanted to make her way back from the end to the beginning! We had to wait for the tractor to come back to give us a hayrack ride, so Brianna just kept going through this maze with all the other kids that were waiting! The hayrack ride was bumpy and fun -- it took us out through their field where they had Halloween sculptures and pumpkins and decorations set up throughout! By the time we got back to the first building, Brianna pumpkin was mostly dry, so we picked it up and went home! All these activities only cost $1 for Mom and I, and Brianna was $4 (for the pumpkin and face painting included!). Not bad!!
