Pumpkin Patch

October is always such a busy month for us with face painting at Schnepf Farms. This year I made a resolve to take a break from it and actually take my family to it and enjoy it ourselves. I'm so glad we did. We created some fun memories there.
We had a nice BBQ chicken dinner. We even got to go on a hayride that took us out to see the baby reindeer. The reindeer would come right up to the fence and eat out of your hands. They loved it!
Here is our family pose at the beginning.

I told Ameliah to try to pick up the pumpkin. Too cute!



My handsome little guy liked the carousel. He asked to ride it several times.

Here they are watching the pig races. I thought they would love it, but it didn't hold their attention.

This is right before the Spooky Train Ride. I didn't realize how scary it would be for them. They were both terrified! They literally had people with costumes and masks running toward the train. Not recommended for small children.
Ameliah said she wanted to ride a real horse. It cost $5 and they walk around in a circle. They kept stopping to let other kids on and off, so really I paid 5 bucks for her to sit on a horse. I regretted it until she told me later that night that it was her favorite part.

That's like taking the kids to Disneyland and their favorite part of the vacation is playing in the hotel swimming pool. So cute!!

I agree Laura...my kids love pumpkin patches....and hotel swimming pools.
We did take them to disney land and they liked it, but not anymore than the simple things!
