Pumpkin Patch '09


Two Saturday's ago we went to the same pumpkin patch that we have gone to for years. We usually go with our wonderful with cousins/Aunt/Uncle. It was the only weekend that worked so we HAD to fit it in. I had my 10 K run that morning in the same area so we though we'd just go from there but Mother Nature had different plans. As soon as my race ended it started pouring rain, lightning, and thunder. Quite the difference from just a few minutes earlier...sunny and warm (thankfully, my race would have been miserable). We then made the decision to go to a pizza and play place until there was a break in the rain. We saw a break in the clouds and went for it. Once again, we lucked out and the rain stopped long enough for us to go on the boat ride with sharks and dragons popping out of the water, pick our pumpkins...

get some faces painted...

then ride the mini train back. It is a great place to go. Beautiful area and fun things to do. Thanks to Ashley all this was possible for our family. Thanks Ashley and Ryan for such a fun day!!!

Congrats on the 10K - that's quite an accomplishment. I LOVE pumpkin patches. I'm glad you guys didn't get totally rained out.

Way to go Chelsea on the 10k! I'll have to find out where that Pumpkin Patch is, sounds like fun...although that information won't really be needed for a year! Yay for breaks in the weather!
