Annual Pumpkin Patch Visit

We took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch on Saturday the 12th.  My parent's were lucky enough to be in town for the fun festivities.  If someone were to ask me to describe this year, in one word, I would use the word "wind".  Seriously.  We left the house at 60 degrees and sun.  We got 30 minutes south and the temp dropped like 20 degrees and the winds increased by, what felt like, 40 MPH. 

I wasn't going to go because I was exhausted (Story for another day but Leo decided to not sleep for 5 days and would get up ~25 times/night.  I was even up for 24 hours one day.  It wasn't pretty.).   Boy did I make the wrong decision by going.  It was expensive to get in (don't I complain about that each year??) and not much for the kids to do.........well I thought so, but the kids of course had a blast......wind and all.  They went down a slide, they picked pumpkins, we went on a hayride, they got to pet animals.......etc.  My family was happy I went and mom said, and I quote, "we would have been cursing you if you were home warm in bed".  Luckily the fresh air and wind made for a wonderful and refreshing nap afterwards.
