Little Adventures: Pumpkin Patch


Around here in the fall, a few different local farms go the extra mile to get people to come out and buy fresh produce alongside with there pumpkins for Halloween. One of those tricks is adding activities great for children. One farm nearby, Thistledown, has taken that to heart. They built a small maze out of hay bails that are fully covered from the rain and has a couple of slides too. They also have a small petting zoo with sheep and goats and a rather large scale corn maze. Ridley and I went and spent a good couple hours playing and having fun. When we entered the corn maze, I put him in charge of making all the decisions about where we would go. Though we explored every possible option, including all the dead ends, he did get us out all by himself!
