We finally made it out to a pumpkin patch, about a week before Halloween. We went to Shaw Farms in Milford. We realized we will never go to a pumpkin patch on a weekend again. This place was packed last year when we visited on a Saturday. On a Monday afternoon, it was perfect. The kids got to enjoy every piece of scenery without having to move along and give other kids a turn.
We also went on a hayride that was not packed at all. It was a really cool ride and a little spooky. We went into the woods and the afternoon sky started to turn gray. The leaves on the trees were gorgeous. Throughout the woods there were lots of Halloween decorations, like black cats, witches, spiders, etc. All this added to the spookiness. Mitchell was pretty hesitant about the ride. By the end he was in my lap hugging me tightly. I cetainly wasn't complaining about the extra cuddles.
We came away with a bunch of pumpkins. Hopefully later this week I will be able to post pics of how we turned our pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns.
