It's the beginning of my favorite time of year. September-January is most definitely my favorite for several reasons. First, the wonderful fall weather at the beginning of the season... and everything fall! Pumpkin spice coffee, sweaters, boots, the most adorable clothes for Montgomery, the beautiful colors and smells and the pumpkin patch! I'm sure I'll be blogging later into this season about Thanksgiving, black friday shopping and Christmas, so for now I'll just stick to the pumpkin patch!
We have an awesome place here in Robertson County called Honeysuckle Hill Farm. It isn't only a pumpkin patch, but a full day's worth of fall fun. Ben and I knew we were going to be taking the preteens and middle schoolers for a trip, but wanted to go ahead and take Montgomery when it was just us 3. It was almost 90 degrees outside, but we still had a blast!
The first thing Montgomery saw was the playground that had a giant spider slide. Unfortunately M is currently scared of slides so had interest in it, but went for the huge tires instead.
We were a little overwhelmed looking at the map trying to decide what to do next. Thankfully, the next fun thing was right beside the playground! Duck races! Not real ducks, though they did have those, but plastic ducks. The setup was a neat idea and it was easy enough that Montgomery could actually do it by himself. He LOVED this particular activity and probably would've stayed there all day if we had let him.
We took a stop by the sand pit and tire mountain before heading to the mining station.
Yes, he was kissing the pumpkin! Isn't he adorable?!
While I think the mining attraction was probably the least worth our money (it was $5 extra), M did enjoy playing in the water and I got a few cute pictures out of it. After we splash-splashed in the dirty water and chased M all over the farm, we decided it was time to sit a minute, so we took a ride on the pumpkin train. It was an adorable little "train" painted like pumpkins and pulled by a tractor. I wish I would've gotten a picture of it!
This was not Montgomery's favorite activity of the day! Too bumpy for his taste!
A quick stop by the BIG pumpkins for pictures and then the petting zoo, and it was time to get our pumpkins and head home. We were exhausted, but had such a fun time. I recommend this place to anyone! Even if you don't have kids! At night time, the farm closes down and they have a haunted house (which you won't find me at!) and a light show called Nights of Lights. You can also rent a bonfire plot (which we did with our preteens) and roast marshmallows. It truly is an awesome fall day trip!
