Pumpkin Time!

With Halloween just being around the corner now, we decided we needed pumpkins. Many people at work had recommended we go to Bishop's Pumpkin Farm in Wheatland. I was a little wary because Wheatland is about 45 minutes to an hour from our house and I didn't know how Tyler would do in the car for that long. So we decided we would give it a go and just go! It was a blast! Though the traffic on the way there wasn't my favorite because I hate traffic, when we arrived it was absolutely all worth it! The place is amazing! We arrived and saw the tractor pulling the hay ride you take to go to the field to pick your own pumpkin, yes I said PICK YOUR OWN PUMPKIN! When do you ever get to do that?! They had a train ride and all sorts of activities for kids. We spent over 2 hours there and we could have been there longer enjoying the petting zoo, train and pumpkin patch. We ended up with 2 HUGE pumpkins for Mommy and Daddy and Tyler already had one at home that Grammy grew in her garden for him. While at the pumpkin farm we saw another family from Metro Fire and it was great catching up. After pumpkin picking we went to dinner and then headed home. It was a great afternoon and we'll definitly be going every year! Wonderful experience and great family place!
