A Day at Dewberry Farm

We took our annual trip to the pumpkin patch over the weekend. We decided to try a new place this year! Last year we went to Old McDonald and to my dismay the pumpkins were not in the patch! I'm anal about my pumpkins, lol! I just don't like it when pumpkins are just sitting there, I like going out into a patch and picking our own. So...at Dewberry Farm http://www.dewberryfarm.com/ we got to do just that! They also had tons of farm animals, lots of attractions for the kids, good food, a corn maze and a flower field were you could pick fresh bouquets! We were in heaven! My only complaint...the weather! It was HOT, in the 90's. When I think of the fall and the pumpkin patch I think about back home and weather in the 50's and 60's. I'm not used to going to the pumpkin patch in the summer! Something is not right about a pumpkin patch with the smell of sunscreen in the air! But when you move you have to take the good with the bad. So we'll deal with it. This is always the time of year though when I really start to miss "home". Anyhow, I'll leave with some pics. of the day!


No one looking, no one smiling. We're off to a great start.

What a cool place! I have never actually "picked" my own pumpkin. I should try and find one around here. And no the 90's is not fall. Sorry you miss home but you are making new memories of your own!
