How do you tell if the grandkids enjoyed their annual trip to the pumpkin patch?
Well, if they've been there for five hours and still show no signs of wanting to leave, that's a good sign.
This year we tried a new location, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, which has tulips in the spring and a pumpkin patch and corn maze in the fall. We arrived this morning at 10:00 a.m. and stayed until nearly 3:00 p.m. The only reason we left was because the grown-ups were tired and wanted to go home.

I love your pictures!
Looks like fun!
Sounds like you had a blast on your pumpkin patch trip! You could tell by your kids’ happy faces that they immensely enjoyed the day, especially Tyler who was sitting on a pile of pumpkin on a flatbed truck. Well, maybe next time you can get him truckloads of pumpkin. He will surely enjoy that on your next pumpkin trip!
