Pumpkin Patch Blast!



My family went to the pumpkin patch today and I reccommend it to everyone! We had a blast. At first we went to Carvers Farms by the Idaho border and that really dissapointed us. All the pumpkins were rotting and the corn maze was....I couldn't even tell it was a maze! So we left pumpkinless and bummed out. But then we went to Mead and tried Siemers farms and we had a totally different experience! (Thanks Sheena for posting about it!) There were tons of different pick-your-own farms around there and they were all competing against each other so the quality was a million times better. There was an apple fest where they had great photo oppertunities and different vendors selling their crafts, food and such. Then we went to Knapps Farms where they have a Pumpkin launcher where they shoot a pumpkin out of a cannon every hour. At that same place they had a corn maze, which was in much better shape than the one at Carvers but costs 1.00 to get in. They also had a hay maze for kids. There were chickens and ponies and donkeys to play with and the pumpkins are in great shape. At the apple fest they had horse drawn hay rides which looked fun, but there was an hour wait in the line, so we didn't do that. But anyway, if you are looking for a fun fall activity, I would go to Mead. But hurry, I think they close at the end of October.
