Pumpkin Patch

We took a Saturday and visited a pumpkin patch and corn maize.  The farm was completely out of pumpkins and it was only the middle of the month so we enjoyed the "hay ride" which was a trailer with wood seats, Cam kept telling us how much better he liked the wood seats rather then the pokey hay ones.
 The corn maize was very easy, literally impossible to get lost in. 
 The petting zoo - these two goats below lived in the same cage with a little lamb - they kept knocking into the poor thing with their horns - it reminded me of when we had a goat living in our backyard growing up and we would have to run to the garage or be head butted in the rear end.
 The farm next door had plenty of pumpkins - but we did not get one - 
the line to get in was absurdly long.


 The farm we visited also had a bakery that people talk very highly of.  I told the LT that I wanted him to buy a chocolate pecan pie from the bakery - it was a $17 pie - the LT was not to thrilled about it but he bought it.  Each of us had a piece at home including the dog who had about half the pie while we weren't looking - the LT really wasn't happy about that.  Needless to say we won't be buying expensive pies again.  
Goodbye pumpkin patches and hay rides - we will see you again next year!
