Fall Traditions: Pumpkin Patch

Starting shortly after my nephew was born our family started gathering together for a trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a good excuse for the whole family to get together and really, who doesn't like a pumpkin patch?

We make the long drive every year so we can visit the same pumpkin patch (even though no one lives close anymore) because it's our tradition. Plus who can turn down a hayride/petting zoo/train ride/ show combo? Add in a country store carrying delicious Amish made goods and a turkey leg and you've got the whole package.

I have even become less afraid of Tony the lama as the years have gone by. (My sister probably wouldn't say the same, she got spit on. Those scars will last.)

What started as a few of us has grown into 15. I love looking back at this time each year and watching our family grow.
