Pumpkin Patch (kind of)

The last 2 years we have gone out to this really cool and elaborate pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. It has about 100 photo opps, bounce houses, a hayride, concessions, a little train, etc. It's really cute...and it's free. But, its a bit of a jaut to drive there...kinda takes up half a day...and our weekend time goes so fast....
I saw this little pumpkin patch with a bounce house at a nursery close to our house...I mentioned to Rob we could go there this year...instead of the Flower Mound pumpkin patch. And he said "if it is good enough for you, it's good enough for me!" So, that was our plan. Simplify.
Unfortunately, we have had really warm weather on most Saturdays in October. So, we dug out some orange and put it on with our shorts and flip flops and off we went.



We hadn't been there too long before the kids figured out that this wasn't the pumpkin patch they had in mind! But, it sure got "pumpkin patch" checked off my to do list AND we still had a lot of time left in our day! We might have to do the more traditional route next year....or not! We'll see!
The kids decided to drag pumpkins over in front of the bounce house to "decorate" it. I mean what else do you do when your parents take you to a "hay ride-less" pumpkin patch!
We did find a few keepers!
