Our Little Punkin’ in a Pumpkin Patch

What a fun afternoon! We have discovered Cedar Hill Farm (http://www.cedarhfarm.com/), thanks to some great advice about a fun pumpkin patch, and we are now HUGE fans! We didn’t quite know what to expect, but this place knows how to put on an awesome show.

First, we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patches (one for big pumpkins and one for baby pumpkins), and they also had a corn maze and a pirate ship for the kiddos out there. After scouting for the perfect pumpkin, we checked out the playground and hay bale maze and visited the cafe for a cool treat. We sat in rockers on the porch and enjoyed some ice cream.  Then, we walked through the petting zoo (which was very animated and educational), and we just missed the pig races. Can you believe they had pig races?! Wild! We wrapped up our visit with a stop in the market/barn and picked out an albino pumpkin. They also had tons of gourds, mums, hay bales, etc.

We had such a fun family day, and I would go back a million times this fall if John wouldn’t make so much fun of me! They are open basically year round, so I hope to get back there for Christmas, Easter, etc. Oh, a P.S. for all my adventurous readers, they have a paintball course that John is secretly dying to try out. Please let him know if you’d like to go check it out. He would love to go! One recommendation I would make if you plan on visiting Cedar Hill Farm…wear tennis shoes. John found a friendly fire ant that attacked his left foot- eek!
