Pumpkin Patch

This fall has flown by so quickly. The weather confused us all as it stayed pretty warm through most of October. Before we knew it, it was the end of the month and I knew we had to make our annual Pumpkin Patch trip before Halloween. So on Saturday, October 29th, just two days before Halloween, we were able to make it happen!

We have been going to Reynolds Farm in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania ever since we moved here 9 years ago. That first year Abby was only a year old. Now we have added three more kiddos and my how they have grown!


First we rode the hayride up to the pumpkin patch where we each got to pick out a pumpkin to carve.

Maylie (age 2)

Abby (age 10)

Landon (age 8)

Nolan (age 5)

Maylie got frustrated with all the vines growing around the pumpkin patch which made it difficult for her two-year-old legs to maneuver around. Fortunately she found that the pumpkins made pretty good chairs to rest her weary legs!

After paying a small fortune for our carving pumpkins, it was time to hit up the play area. Maylie and Abby enjoyed going down the slide together...

Except when this happened!!

Abby was there to save the day after that one!

We spent a few hours exploring the play area and navigating the corn maze and then headed to Waynesburger for a yummy dinner. We finished off our evening with some ice cream from Misty Meadows. You know it was a good day when Landon declared it "the best day ever!"
