Where's That Darn Pumpkin Patch?

Yesterday was an adventurous day! We were in search of a pumpkin patch and drove all over Baltimore County looking for one.

We started out at Weber's Farm. I thought they would have a pumpkin patch because they sold pumpkins and had lots of family activities. No such luck. They had lots of pumpkins, but no pumpkin patch. So we got some pictures of the goats and the tractor and jumped in the car in search of a real pumpkin patch. (We also bought a yummy Caramel walnut apple pie!)

Caroline remembered the name of a farm she wanted to visit and after placing a few calls to Directory Assistance, we got directions to Huber Family Farm. They did have a pumpkin patch. And we learned a valuable lesson. If you want a pumpkin patch, you have to go to a Pick-Your-Own farm. That was the difference between Weber's farm and Huber Family Farm. So here are the pumpkin patch pictures. Jacob finds dirt very fascinating so he had a good time rolling around in the pumpkins.

Remember our trip to Larriland Farm? Jacob fell asleep just as we got to the pumpkin patch, so we skipped it. Well, he did the same this time around too, but we were determined to get our picture. When he woke up in the pumpkin patch, he was excited the adventure was still in full swing.

Finally, we ended our day at Aunt Steffie's where we had a Halloween themed play date with Aidan and our new friend Dillon. We met Dillon's dads through Families With Pride, a GLBT parents group in Baltimore. Dillon is a couple of weeks older than Jacob. Look, they are both lions! Aidan is that cute pumpkin in the middle.

So, all in all, it was a busy day. Jacob had a lot of fun playing with his friends and going on our adventure. When we got home, he ate and went fast asleep. Sweet dreams.
