The Pumpkin Patch

I found a good one!

We took our October trip to Little Rock at the first of the month and did the Pumpkin Patch a little early. The advantage of that is it wasn't very crowded, so we didn't have to endure the long lines this year. Schafer's Corn Maze has live animals, tunnels of hay to crawl through, and tractors the kids can ride. It is a unique experience to take a hayride to the pumpkin patch. Caroline wanted a small pumpkin and her Uncle Curt helped her pick the perfect one. We went with my Aunt Barbara and her two granddaughters, Lilly and Maggie, and of course Grandy and Poppy came along too!

Caroline surprised me by taking a pony ride. In the past, she has always wanted to watch but never wanted to actually ride. She also enjoyed riding in the little tractors around the corn maze.

Ready to go pick a pumpkin!
