Pumpkin Patch

After many straight years of going to Sauvie Island for the pumpkin patches, I decided today that we should try a new place. I read about several family farms offering hayrides, animals, and pumpkins of course, and we picked one to try out. It was a mistake. The old adage was true: if it isn't broke, don't fix it. We should have stuck with Sauvie Island.
First, the place was further away than I thought, making for something of a long drive. Then we got lost, making for a longer drive. Then, when we finally arrived, it was small and not very exciting, and paled in comparison to the place we usually go. We'll be back there next year (if not later this month).
Josh had fun though. He picked a pumpkin from the display by the cash register when we first arrived. We talked him into putting it back and riding the hay ride out to the field to see the other pumpkins. But you can guess what we bought in the end: the original pumpkin he liked at the display!
Here we are on the hayride. Lucas was not amused.
