One of our favorite Fall traditions is finding the best pumpkin patch. I had heard this one was good and although pretty far away, we couldn't wait to check it out.
The Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch stated on their website that a competitor set up in the adjacent field and tries to wave you in to their patch. It's true! The nerve of some people! But hardly anyone was at the "other" pumpkin patch and clearly the original was the place to be! It was hopping!
This was one of the first pictures where I tried to get Joseph to hold Alaina. The outtakes are pretty good for this little pose. I should have posted them instead!
They had a mini kid maze that Josh and I ran through with Joseph. It was pretty much the epitome of a fall pumpkin patch day!
The hay had a amazing quality of absorbing almost all sound, so if one were to misplace their child in the hay maze, anticipating hearing their cries of help wouldn't be a good solution. Joseph didn't have any desire...at this point...to go in by himself though so I didn't have to worry about the hay maze swallowing my child whole.
This was classic! "DO NOT CLIMB" and "KEEP OFF TOP OF MAZE"! Yea right...try telling that to a bunch of young kids having the time of their lives!
At one point all heck broke loose when Joseph decided to go inside the 'big' maze by himself. He wasn't tall enough to see us and us him, and the sound absorbing quality of the hay made it impossible to know where he was. I started to panic just a teensy bit and decided to go in after him. While inside I encountered at least two other crying children who couldn't find their way out and also assisted several parents who were on the outside in finding their kids! It was a full on rescue effort! It was a serious maze, folks!
After the hay ride, there was a graveyard area with a haunted tree that had carvings in it. I thought it was a pretty cool and spooooky idea.
'Whooooo' loved the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch?! We did!
