Our 2nd annual tradition of going to a pumpkin patch on the first weekend in October was a success! Last year, on the same weekend, it was actually hot, while this year it was on the frigid side. "Record lows" were the accurate phrase. We had a lovely surprise and ran into 3 families from church while we were there, one of whom, I used to babysit for. WHAT A BLAST! We all rode out to the pumpkin patch together. Don't be deceived, the "pumpkin patch" is where they have thrown a bunch of pumpkins into the grass for easy choosing. Most were average sized, some were small, and some were surprisingly large. There was also a play area called "Backyard 40" for the little ones. The slide was "freaky-fast" and I could have stayed on that all day. Missing in the photos are the petting zoo and ginormous sand box. If we hadn't have just gotten back from the beach, we would have probably let Hannah play in the sand. Cleaning her up afterward just didn't sound like loads of fun. Thinking about it now though, since she wasn't wet, I bet it wouldn't have been that big of a deal.
Corryton is beautiful! It's north-ish of Knoxville, 20-30 minutes. Check out the photo of Hannah on the hay - look at those mountains :) I'll try to find a photo of Hannah at the patch last year and put it up --- then you can see how much she's grown! She was very sad to leave the pumpkin patch...just kept pointing to all the pumpkins as we got back on the hayride.
Must add that Hannah's FAVORITE part was at the very end when we walked through a corn maze....she LOVED playing in the corn! She's a northerner at heart!
