Celebrating Fall at the Pumpkin Patch

We are fortunate to live close to the country - drive just a short distance north, and you are out in the rolling hills and vast fields of Celina. There, is a family owned pumpkin farm that opens their doors every year to the public complete with a petting zoo, hayrides, and of course - fields of pumpkins. This was our second year in a row to visit - I see a yearly tradition starting to happen. My mom joined me and the girls for our trip. It was a crisp, fall day, although a little breezy. We went during the week thinking it would be less crowded than the weekends. Boy were we wrong! There were tons of school field trips going on. I think everyone decided to go since this was one of the first nice days we've had in the midst of all the rain happening in the past weeks. The crowd didn't bother us too much. We still got to do everything we wanted and got the pictures we were hoping for. Ava and I went on the hayride around the farm. Mia slept almost the entire time - she opened her eyes a little for a few pictures, but other than that she was an angel sleeping peacefully in her stroller. Ava was pleased to pick out pumpkins for her, Mia and Daddy. She had fun feeding the animals at the petting zoo too!
