pumpkin "patch"

so, i couldn't stand the fact

that my kids think

a pumpkin patch is a church parking lot

with pumpkins on a pallate.

...

so, we took them to a pumpkin festival.

in farm country.

it wasn't an actual pumpkin patch.

but it was in a corn field.

on a farm.

actually, a tomato farm.

...

but it had lots of pumpkins.

and kennel corn.

which the kids now love, by the way.

and perhaps the most exciting part of all.

it had motorcycles.

trickster motor cycles.

ryan was in awe.

i could see the gears turning in his little head.

he couldn't have cared less about the pumpkins.

...

over all, a much better pumpkin patch experience.
