Pumpkin Patch




Every year it seems like going to the pumpkin patch turns out to be such a bummer.  October is always busy for Mark so it's hard to find a free night to go.  We had tried a few weeknights and finally gave up and went on a Saturday night.  Since Luke had to wait so long he was beyond pumped to go ride a tractor.  That night we got over to Day Farms and they informed us it was a two hour wait.  Since it would be dark and too long for the boys to wait we headed on.  We drove over to Pack Farms in Farmington.  Mark and I had to do a pretty big sell on the idea of wagons instead of tractors.  

Once we got there Lukers was okay with the idea and couldn't wait to pull a wagon and find some pumpkins.  We had very little daylight so we had to pick fast.  The mosquitos were out and poor Brods was getting eaten alive.  As usual, Luke felt bad for the small rotten pumpkins and wanted to take them home.  Mark finally found us four pumpkins and we thought we were finished.  Luke wouldn't let us leave without going through the hay maze.  Since it was pitch black Brody and I waited in the car for Luke and Daddy to get lost in the maze.  

The next morning I looked at the pumpkins in the daylight and discovered that Mark had picked two rotten pumpkins.  I think we'll go to the grocery store to buy new ones!
