the punkin patch


Yes, the "punkin" patch.  That is how Britton pronounced "pumpkin patch" all day yesterday and I just giggled every time she said "punkin." It totally reminded us of that "Modern Family" episode about "punkin chunkin" so Memaw, the hubs, and I ended up yelling "punkin chunkin!" at each other!

We had actually been planning on going to the punkin patch for weeks now.  Before we left for Disney, we had placed an ad in Craigslist to sell Memaw and PawPaw's golf cart.  We ended up selling the golf cart to a farmer whose wife has arthritis, and she needed help getting around the farm.  He gave us a flier for their punkin patch, with a pass for a free family hayride as a bonus!  


We ended up leaving with SEVEN pumpkins!  Three for the front porch, one small one for Britton, and three pie pumpkins for Britton's class to decorate.



We also got to meet some goats, donkeys, roosters, and baby chicks.  And of course go on our hayride (where we were treated to the view of a farm cat eating a mouse!).  We finished off our trip at the farm's market, where we bought a pumpkin roll, some cookies, a brownie, apple cider, and so much yummy goodies!
