A Tale of Two Pumpkin Patches - Part 1






















While we were in Tennessee recently, we went to the Tate Farms pumpkin patch in Meridianville.  Rebecca had a blast!  We had been to the same pumpkin patch two years ago when we visted TN in October. 

What a difference two years makes!



It was a fun pumpkin patch, and other than being windy, we had a perfect day!



The corn crib was one of her favorite activities. 















There was a petting zoo too.  However, Rebecca was only interested in the bunnies.





























No southern farm is complete without a a tractor and horses!







She made a lot of friends at the pumpkin patch.  I wonder if I should be concerned that she had boys flocking to her.










Hey, does that shot of Rebecca driving that green car with a little boy beside her look familiar?  Check out two years ago!


After a little snack...

 
...it was on to the pumpkin house...



...and then to the corn train.




After all that, it was finally time to get on the hay wagon and head out to the field to find our perfect pumpkin. We tried to impress upon Rebecca that the perfect pumpkin would be near the hay wagon and not very heavy.


This was Rebecca's face when she saw the miles of pumpkins!


By the way, the face painting that Rebecca got was supposed to be a small pumpkin.  The face painting artist was, well, not an artist.  Then Rebecca decided she wanted a pink pumpkin. So that's what the weird thing on her face is. 















Already trying to locate THE pumpkin, before we even got off the hay wagon.

Finally, it was hers, and she was determined to carry it herself, along with two "nittle baby punkins."  Thankfully, I was able to convince Rebecca that we could leave them at Grammy's for her to enjoy.



It was a great day!
