When I came home from my trip to Omaha, I insisted that we do another pumpkin patch together as a family. We needed pumpkins to carve, and since Halloween is one of my most favorite holidays, I wanted to go to the pumpkin patch too!
One of the local churches in town has a ton of pumpkins shipped in and laid in piles in the church lawn. The church, First Baptist Church of Oak Ridge (www.fbcoakridge.org), has a great set up. The kids can climb through the pumpkin piles and pick the best one. And they have them arranged by price, which makes it easy on the parents to direct kids to a specific pile.
Clara loved playing with the pumpkins. And Hallie kept finding pumpkins she could drag to Jason's feet. We did this pumpkin patch last year and really enjoyed it then. I think it's going to become a staple in our Halloween events because we can pick pumpkins based on price and not have to weigh them. And the people working there are great with the kids.
