It seems really cheesy to go to a pumpkin patch in a parking lot with truckloads of pumpkins brought in and dumb rides, but it's pretty magical for the kids. The ground is covered in hay and they have lights at night and a bubble machine.

We went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. I put together a group to get a deal with unlimited bouncy house and a small pumpkin. We had a couple friends from church and a couple friends from school. The kids had a lot of fun bouncing, feeding the goats, riding the cheap rides and drumming in the teepees. It was fun for me to have friends there, too!
