Pumpkin Patch Fun

Today our family made our 2nd Annual Trip to Burt's Pumpkin Patch. Burt's is located in Dawsonville which is about an hour from our house. We got there right at 9:00 am when the Pumpkin Patch was opening. We immediately got in line to go on the hay ride. Collin loved everything about the hay ride! He loved the fact that a big, green John Deere tractor was pulling us through the curvy dirt roads. He also loved the farmer who was driving the tractor. He kept pointing to him and smiling. Patrick and I think Collin was saying "I want to go up there with him, please!" Collin was also a fan of picking up the hay in the wagon and trying to throw it everywhere. He was also fascinated by the talking pumpkins we saw. It was a lot of fun!

After we got off the hay ride, we let Collin loose among the thousands of pumpkins. He absolutely loved it! He ran up to the pumpkins and would pat them, and then run off to another one. After a few minutes he noticed the creek running beside the pumpkins and was all about trying to get in it. While we were playing among the pumpkins, we ran into Collin's playgroup pals Matney and Halle Kate. Collin was very excited to see Matney and run around the pumpkins with her. He then decided to take a break and catch a ride in the wheelbarrow Daddy was pushing so he could help us pick out some pumpkins to bring home.

Our adventure ended with a picnic lunch. We set out a blanket next to the creek and enjoyed some family time together. We always have such a great time at Burt's Pumpkin Patch and cannot wait to go back next year!
