A pumpkin patch, but no pumpkins.

I have wanted to go to a corn maze since the first time I heard of them.  I finally got my chance.  We went to the cider mill where they have a children's play area, a pumpkin patch, and a corn maze.  I was  very happy to have a family fun day because we seemed to have spent the last month home sick.  It was a spur of the moment decision.  Kevin had been talking about wanting to go to the cider mill and as we sat around Saturday morning trying to decide what to do that sounded like the most enjoyable option, so 30 minutes later we were in the car headed out.

Now here is the truth about taking your child to this sort of thing.  It takes  much longer to pack and head out the door than it would if you weren't taking them along.  You risk meltdowns over having to stand in line or being too small for something they really want to do.  And inevitably the one thing you really REALLY want to do, oh lets just say the corn maze, is the one thing that will not hold their interest longer than 30 seconds and you will have to go find something more entertaining for them.  However, it is 180% worth it to see how excited your kid gets when they get to go inside a Teepee, feed a goat, walk across a bridge to nowhere, or get to experience their first hayride.  I wouldn't miss that for anything, even getting to go through the whole maze.

 

 

 

 

I smell a yearly tradition in the making.  Oh and by the way, she looked at the pumpkin patch, but couldn't be convinced to pick one hence the title of this post.  But have no fear always using our resources wisely, we spent the pumpkin money on a second dozen cider donuts.
