Pumpkin Patch


Today we went to the Aplin Farm in Dothan, AL. We took a wagon ride out to a pumpkin patch. This was the first real pumpkin patch the kids had ever seen. Jeff told the kids they could each pick a pumpkin, but the rule was they had to be able to carry it back to the wagon. Caleb found a huge one and slowly carried it back to the wagon. Claire couldn't be outdone and found herself one just as big as Caleb's. She struggled to carry it to the wagon. Caleb told her to put it down and he would come back and carry it for her. She wouldn't let the pumpkin win and carried it all the way herself!! Connor didn't compete...he just watched all the action. This farm also had sunflowers growing beside the pumpkins. They were quite tall. I said they were taller than Claire, but she was quick to correct me that there were plenty of sunflowers shorter than her as well! The farm also had a maze cut through their corn field. That was a fun, family activity! The whole day was a lot of fun!
