When the weather is so nice and the sky is so blue, it makes me want to be outside. Ben’s legs are a bit short for hiking, so I have a desire to find a good pumpkin patch.
Ben is convinced that the pumpkins on our porch are in fact not gourds. He picks them up and says “Ball.”
“Pumpkin,” we correct.
“Ball,” he says again.
“Pumpkin.”
I think he’d get a kick out of a whole field of ‘em. Probably the hay ride and petting zoo, too.
The problem, to me, is that any pumpkin patch I can find is over an hour away. What if we make the trek and he’s in a bad toddler mood and doesn’t even like it when we get there? My “could be fun” outing could be torture, as well.
A cranky toddler can totally ruin your day, y’know?
I found this one on a website - never been, but we could call & see. I think there’s also one out in Anniston/Oxford. I’ll have to look it up.

There is a pumpkin patch in Boaz, it’s somewhere along the lines of Brown St. going to the shopping centers. They have really cute hay, pumpkin and scarecrow displays up advertising it with large arrows pointing the way.
