Today we did something old and new. We visited a local pumpkin patch and got our pumpkins for Halloween. It's something we have done in the past true, but we went to a new place this time.
What it is:
On Saturday, we went to Sunny Acres Farm for their Pumpkin Festival. It is a little farm on the outskirts of the city that we had never heard of before. For the festival, they had a petting zoo, some bouncy castles, food and hayrides. They also had their corn maze and pumpkins in the pumpkin patch or at their store. For the older kids there was face painting and a scavenger hunt too.
What we did:
We went around the barn area and saw all the animals. It wasn't really a petting zoo since most of the animals were in cages but they did have a pony, a horse, a rabbit and a little pig you could get close to. After our toddler got bored looking at the animals (it took awhile), we went and played in the bouncy castles for a bit and then had a hayride. Connor had tons of fun doing both of these things and it was great to see him so happy and experiencing new things. After that, we went up to the store area and took some pictures of Connor in the pumpkin area and on the little toy tracker they had. It was super cute! We wrapped up the visit by picking out our pumpkins.
What we thought:
We had a great time but it was small and not set up great. It would have been nice if the petting zoo was more localized and more of a petting zoo than farm animals in cages. Altogether it was a fun day but we will probably go some place else next year.
