Pumpkin Patch at Bates Nut Farm


We took you to your very first pumpkin patch. It was our first time going to this particular one as well, Bates Nut Farm was pretty far... a bit further than Wild Animal park, but it was huge and very much worth the drive. There was a petting zoo, pony marry go round, maze, hay rides, lots of food, music. And did I mention gigantic pumpkins? So you had a great time. There is a group of friends who goes with their kids every year and we joined in on the fun. We took you on the hay ride, and were about to go into the maze, but you fell asleep and since we didn't bring the right stroller, (rookies...) we put you into our friends stroller for a little nap. We had lunch, picked out our pumpkins and before we knew it hours have gone by. I think next time we'll make a whole day of it... so we'll be better prepared. 

It sure was bright out

You're definitely smaller than the pumpkin

A ride on a pumpkin?

...or a ride inside the Wheelbarrow next to the pumpkins

Pumpkins everywhere

You were fascinated with the scarecrow that we're sitting next to

We took home 3 pumpkins, 2 big ones and one little one for you!
