It was a beautiful day on Saturday so we thought we'd take Maddox to her first pumpkin patch. We drove out to Long Grove, Iowa to the Pride of the Wapsi Pumpkin Patch. It is well more than a pumpkin patch, as you'll see from the pictures. They have a petting zoo, pony rides, a barrel train, 2 jumping houses, tons of opportunities for pictures, wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, face painting...and a bunch more. With Maddox's age and short window between naps we picked only a few things to do but we all had a BLAST. Grammy Marti was in town to watch Maddox while Eric and I went to the Penn State/Iowa game so she came along for the fun. It ended up being a little bit colder out in the country then it was in town so we had to cover Maddox with all the extra hats/coats that happened to be in the RAV. She could barely move but didn't seem to mind! She loved everything...the train ride, the pony, and the pumpkin patch. She tried to eat the pumpkin blooms and part of one of the pumpkin stems but we were quick to stop her...although I'm fairly certain pumpkin blooms are safe but we didn't want to take any chances. We had a great time...and are looking forward to carving our pumpkins some time soon! Happy Fall everyone....!
