Pumpkin Patch fun

Today after Mass we all went to a pumpkin patch. We chose to go to one a little ways away from us but that has a reputation for being one of the best in the area. Overall, it was fun. I honestly found my blessing in learning that bigger is not always better. It was indeed an impressive pumpkin patch, with a hayride, corn maze, slides, and more. However, everything had a crazy long line, and in the end the girls spent most of their time on the smaller play areas. Which, to be clear, we could have found much closer to home and for a lot less money. Did everyone have a good time? You bet. Am I glad we went? Sure. I'm even more glad to know that we can go somewhere closer next year and have just as great a time. Sometimes less really can be more, and that the elaborateness of the venue does not have to determine how good a time we have.

Jocie found some big feet!

after a while, the hayride stressed Molly out and she spent much of the time with her hands covering her ears

Jocelyn was the only one brave enough to milk the cow - she made milk come out too!

Molly greatly enjoyed the corn (not sand) box

we totally forgot to take a nice picture inside the patch, but we were very glad to share our special day with Miss Katy and Mr. Chris!
