I’ve been going to Rambach’s Pumpkin Patch since I was a kid and for nine Halloween’s we haven’t missed visiting this patch with our kids. (The first year I was pregnant with Sloan).
So Sunday when the weather was balmy hot we decided to make the trek out there. It feels a little sacreligious to visit the Pumpkin Patch in shorts and T-shirts, but given the fact that I loathe cold weather I wasn’t overly concerned about. And the best part of this year’s visist was the fact that we got in and out of there without spending a dime.
Because we rock.
The trick is to go without money. And leave your ATM card in the car so you’re not tempted to get cash out while there. Then you can honestly tell the kids you don’t have any money. And you know what? They didn’t really care. They were happy to play on the playground, run through the pumpkins and simply enjoy being outdoors. They didn’t need overpriced pony rides and I had already told them we would buy our Pumpkins at Trader Joes because they’re cheaper.
And so I give you…the Pumpkin Patch of 2010. And a lame blog post. Sorry.
Great pictures! They are so bright! It’s the other nice tradition of yours. I love traditions.
Tia looks so beautiful in violet! Is it her favourite colour?
Your photography skills have really advanced! Very nice professional looking photos!
Thanks Joyce! I still have a lot to learn. I really need to take a class. 🙂
Looks to me like you could teach a class!
