Pumpkin Patch at Maple Lane Farms



We've started a tradition with Ali now!!! During the GREAT month of October and the wonderful start to Fall we have adventures we take our yearly trip to Maple Lane Farms! I love this place! They have Pick Your Own Strawberries in the later Spring throughout Summer. During October they have the Pick Your Own Pumpkins. We pay $2 for a long hay ride throughout the farm seeing the cows and farm life. We hop off the hay ride and venture off into the crops of pumpkins. It's messy too! Dirty pumpkins and dirty hands not my cup up tea! I learned last year to bring hand sanitizer in my camera bag or purse. Clean hands this year! :) We had a lot of fun and THANK GOODNESS did not do the corn maze!! WHEW! I hate corn mazes! ( long story) But Ali did find the face painting booth!! We were hoping she wouldn't want her face painted this year because it was a 2 HOUR wait last year!! 2 HOURS!! But since we arrived right when they opened we were first in line! :) One happy girl! That's what she talked about the whole time.... getting her face painted! We had a great time carving pumpkins and roasting pumpkin seeds. Ali is really into bows right now (another blog coming soon) so we made our pumpkins have bows on their stems. Super cute and girly! We had a great time Sunday and our pumpkins looked great! Enjoy!
